Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply.
New York in the spring of 1880 is a place alive with wonder and curiosity. Determined to learn the truth about the world, its residents enthusiastically engage in both scientific experimentation and spiritualist pursuits. Séances are the entertainment of choice in exclusive social circles, and many enterprising women—some possessed of true intuitive powers, and some gifted with the art of performance—find work as mediums.
Enter Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St. Clair. At their humble teashop, Tea and Sympathy, they provide a place for whispered confessions, secret cures, and spiritual assignations for a select society of ladies, who speak the right words and ask the right questions. But the profile of Tea and Sympathy is about to change with the fortuitous arrival of Beatrice Dunn.
When seventeen-year-old Beatrice leaves the safety of her village to answer an ad that reads ""Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply,"" she has little inclination of what the job will demand of her. Beatrice doesn't know it yet, but she is no ordinary small-town girl; she has great spiritual gifts—ones that will serve as her greatest asset and also place her in grave danger. Under the tutelage of Adelaide and Eleanor, Beatrice comes to harness many of her powers, but not even they can prepare her for the evils lurking in the darkest corners of the city or the courage it will take to face them.

Väl beskrivna miljöer och intressanta karaktärer och en passande berättarröst! Det enda som jag har emot denna är när det bokstaveras hela meningar, bokstav för bokstav, utan att det sedan läses upp som sammanhängande ord. Jag klarade inte av att hänga med och fick ta fram papper och penna och pausa för att skriva upp bokstäverna så jag förstod vad som sades/skrevs. Hade jag läst denna istället för att lyssna så hade ju problemet inte varit detsamma.

I felt it lacked originality... Far too many cliches for my taste. Still, an ok story.

Lite förvirrande med många karaktärer och hade behövt penna och papper vissa avsnitt. Men en välskriven bok som jag kommer att minnas. Bra uppläst.

This was so much more than I expected! The story of witch-hunt seems to have no end, continuing today in new disguises. And Julia Whelan is my favourite reader.
