Whisper of Jasmine backtracks with the main character of A Spear of Summer Grass, the brash socialite Delilah Drummond, and introduces the characters that will be at the center of the next book, City of Jasmine. The setting is London in 1914, and Delilah (still married to her first husband, Johnny) throws a New Years Eve party intending to do a little matchmaking. Evie longs for adventure, and her eccentric Aunt Dove dresses her to turn heads at Delilah's party. Adventurer Gabriel Stark takes notice of Evie and it appears to be love at first sight, despite the fact that Delilah had meant to match each of them with someone else!This fast-paced prequel to City of Jasmine really was over too quickly, and was a great introduction to some new characters.
