Aunt Olive in Bohemia

"Aunt Olive in Bohemia" by L.M. (Leslie Moore) is a tale of late-life reinvention. It’s the story of Miss Olive Mason, a woman in her sixties, who breaks free from her quiet, predictable life in the countryside after inheriting a fortune. With newfound independence, she courageously moves to London, determined to follow her artistic dreams, find a studio, and immerse herself in a dynamic world she's only dreamed of. The novel opens with her escape by train from her former life in a sleepy country town, where she’s lived under the watchful eye of her peculiar cousin, Miss Stanhope. Her arrival in London is marked by a delightful innocence and wonder as she navigates the bustling city and enthusiastically embraces her new life among the bohemian artists, daring to redefine herself and her art.
