Summary

"A Little Rebel: A Novel" by Duchess is a story set in a bygone era, where Professor Curzon unexpectedly finds himself the guardian of Perpetua, a lively 17-year-old who has just inherited a fortune. The book dives into the unfolding relationship between the professor and young Perpetua as they both grapple with the constraints placed upon them by society and Perpetua's overbearing aunt. We see the professor progress from initial panic at the prospect of caring for his deceased friend's daughter to the realization that she is now a considerable heiress. The clashes between the professor, Perpetua, and her aunt promise a blend of humor and tenderness as youthful exuberance meets the solemn responsibilities of guardianship.
