Over her friend Jane Austen’s objections, Arabella takes a teaching job in a girl’s school, where she literally runs into the wealthy and handsome older brother of one of her charges, uncovering a spy plot involving encoded schoolbooks and a message wrapped rather stickily in a Christmas pudding. But not only has the aunt married a much younger officer-the Captain Musgrave, who had previously paid attention to Arabella-she has since made it clear that Arabella, after years of virtual servitude, will not inherit a fortune. The oldest daughter of an impoverished Bath parson, Arabella had been living in London with her well-to-do aunt. It is Christmas, 1803, and the charming Arabella Dempsey is not looking forward to the holidays.

The point where this was startlingly clear to me was the first paragraph of Chapter Three, where Big Tony is dramatically driving the boys out of poverty. I think the major problem I had with this book was that Lewis starts out from a white perspective, and really never leaves that viewpoint, even when he’s purportedly trying to get into the minds of his POC characters.
