Phoebe, Junior

Fans of Jane Austen's work will enjoy this witty masterpiece from Scottish writer Margaret Oliphant. Using a classic "fish out of water" theme, Phoebe, Junior is an insightful and sometimes subversive look at class distinctions in the Victorian era. Hailing from a nouveau riche family, young Phoebe's life is turned upside down when she is sent to spend some time with her working-class grandparents in a distant town. Along the way, Phoebe discovers a new way of looking at the world—and stumbles into true love.
