HTML:<b>Speculative fiction from the acclaimed bestselling author of <i>Exit, Pursued by a Bear</i> and <i>Star Wars: Ahsoka</i>.</b><br />  <br /> Victoria-Margaret is the crown princess of the empire, a direct descendent of Victoria I, the queen who changed the course of history. The imperial tradition of genetically arranged matchmaking will soon guide Margaret into a politically advantageous marriage. But before she does her duty, she'll have one summer of freedom and privacy in a far corner of empire. Posing as a commoner in Toronto, she meets Helena Marcus, daughter of one of the empire's greatest placement geneticists, and August Callaghan, the heir to a powerful shipping firm currently besieged by American pirates. In a summer of high-society debutante balls, politically charged tea parties, and romantic country dances, Margaret, Helena, and August discover they share an extraordinary bond and maybe a one-in-a-million chance to have what they want and to change the world in the process.<br /> <br /> Set in a near-future world where the British Empire was preserved not by the cost of blood and theft but by the effort of repatriation and promises kept, <i>That Inevitable Victorian Thing</i> is a surprising, romantic, and thought-provoking story of love, duty, and the small moments that can change people and the world.<br /> <br /> ★ "This witty and romantic story is a must-read.”—<i>SLJ, </i>starred review<br /> <br /> ★ "Compelling and unique—there's nothing else like it."—<i>Booklist</i>, starred review.<br /> <br /> ★ "[A] powerful and resonant story of compassion, love, and finding a way to fulfill obligations while maintaining one’s identity."—<i>PW, </i>starred review.
