Carla Rene's "Gaslight Journal" offers a glimpse back into Victorian times. Charming as those times seem now, back then there were cruel double standards and enforced social position. Main character Isabella Audley arrives home from college to find her mother almost destitute. She takes on her family's former society friends, and gives the reader a good understanding of what "not keeping up" meant in those days. Isabella and her mother work their way to a happy ending! Good read for all, especially Austen and Bronte fans.
