Edwardian Stories

Born in 1885 in a smoky mill town of Lancashire, Eleanor Whitford grew up in a world ruled by the long shadow of Queen Victoria. And yet, she watches the world shift in small, astonishing ways: from horse-drawn carriages to motorcars, from waltzes to music that dares break every rule. . . While her mother, Marianne, clings to the ordered propriety of the old century, Eleanor begins to wonder: why must girls remain still and proper when the world itself is racing forward? From her first memory of a gloved hand guiding her through Victorian streets to the restless years just before the guns of 1914, Eleanor's story is one of small rebellions, family bonds, and the slow, unstoppable pull of tomorrow. ❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀❀ Book One in the "A New Century" Quadrilogy, an intimate saga of one woman's long life across two centuries that bring change she could have never dreamed of.

Originally written: December 2020. Part Four of the time-traveling saga of Orraca and Beatriz-- but really, this is more about Ida, Beatriz's descendant. So we won't see much growth from Orraca or Beatriz. Nevertheless, I wanted to post this story...as it takes the tale into a new and unexpected direction. I wrote this when I was into reading about history, but not reading or watching historical fiction-- aside from Call the Midwife, which inspired me to add (somewhat) of a baby storyline.
