I absolutely adored The Widows of Malabar Hill, the launch of Sujata Massey's "Perveen Mistry" mystery series set in 1920s Bombay and centered on a lady lawyer-cum-sleuth. Further to female lawyers in history, I binged all three seasons of "The Law According to Lydia Poët," a dramatization of the real-life struggles of Italy's first female lawyer. We wrapped the month with a fun beach weekend with friends including writer pal Finola Austin. If you haven't yet read Finola's brilliant novel, Brontë's Mistress, based on the real-life May-December affair between Branwell Brontë (yes, those Brontës) and Lydia Robinson, fix that here.
