However, you don’t need to love classics to love this book. It is both a parody of, and a love letter to, classic Victorian literature and is perfect for readers who are familiar with Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters. This book is one of the most unique, funny, and romantic books I’ve read in a really long time. But things do not go according to plan, and when an evil captain starts stealing the Wisteria Ladies’ houses and puts the society in danger, Cecilia must team up with her would-be assassin to save them, prove herself, and face the consequences of her past …and her future. An assassination attempt means that she has amassed a large enough reputation as a pirate to be considered as a fully-fledged member of the Wisteria Society, the organization of gentlewomen pirates she has been raised by. When a handsome pirate shows up at the home Cecilia Bassingwaite shares with her elderly aunt claiming to be an assassin, Cecilia is overjoyed. The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels by India Holton is a fantastical historical rom-com following the exploits of a secret society of Victorian lady pirates who must fight an evil, Brontë-obsessed captain who wants to rid the world of all presumptuous women.
