My Review: I enjoyed this light and easy read, set in 1910. Elizabeth, the daughter of Edward Pennington, works in her fathers department store. He allows her to oversee the women’s department, although he is a man of those times and doesn’t believe women should be out there doing mens work. He wants her to be married and settled at home. She has other plans, she wants more from life, her mother passed away some years ago and she wants more opportunities, to showcase what she can do. Add to the mix, handsome widower Joseph, who lost his wife too soon and works with his father making leather goods at Carter and Son. He also has ambition and dreams he shared with his beloved wife. When Joseph and Elizabeth meet over new ideas, there’s a spark. What happens next? You’ll have to read for yourself.

A Shop Girl In Bath
1910 – A compelling tale of one woman’s fight for recognition in Bath’s leading department store.
Hardworking and whip smart, Elizabeth Pennington is the rightful heir of Bath’s premier department store – but her father, Edward Pennington, believes his daughter lacks the business acumen to run his empire. He is resolute a man will succeed him.

Determined to break from her father’s hold and prove she is worthy of inheriting Pennington’s, Elizabeth forms an unlikely alliance with ambitious and charismatic master glove-maker Joseph Carter. They have the same goal: bring Pennington’s into a new decade while embracing woman’s equality and progression. But, despite their best intentions, it is almost impossible not to mix business and pleasure…

Can the two thwart Edward Pennington’s plans for the store? Or will Edward prove himself an unshakeable force who will ultimately ruin both Elizabeth and Joseph?
