This week we read The Perilous Life of Jade Yeo by Zen Cho, a historical romance novella, which in the author’s own words is a “happy fluffy story about a single non-white woman at large in 1920s London”. Learn why you shouldn’t make a decision after reading (most) Brontës, the difficulties of being scrutable and loof, and whether we’ve finally found a cad we don’t want to punch?

This novella is available for free on Kindle or at barnesandnoble.com.

Content Warnings

Discussion of sex, and pregnancy. 

This story is set in 1920’s London with a female Chinese Malaysian British protagonist and so does touch on racism and sexism.
