PREDICTIVE TEXT: The Formidable Miss...

This felt as if Mary Poppins had been dropped into a Victorian-era cozy fantasy ♡

Set largely in Singapore, the author weaves mythology and folklore from around the world (Singaporean, Chinese, Scottish, etc.) effortlessly. Beyond that, The Formidable Miss Cassidy by Meihan Boey is a feel-good story full of quiet adventures, culture, history, and just a little bit of love (and horror 👀).

S Y N O P S I S:

A Scottish governess arrives in Singapore to take up her new post, only to find a host of problems await that require her very unique skills in this award-winning and incredibly entertaining historical fantasy novel.

There has never yet been a crisis that Miss Leda Cassidy hasn’t been able to fix, be it a lovelorn young charge, perpetually distracted students, or an unruly and malevolent ghost. When she arrives at her new employer’s home and discovers the family is being terrorized by a vampiric spirit, she sets about righting the situation without delay.

But it seems that as soon as she puts one supernatural creature to rest, another appears to take its place. A woman’s work is truly never done, is it?

Thank you so much to Harper Perennial for the gifted copy!
