If you've ever felt discounted as a woman, you'll enjoy this story of Victorian librarian Abigail Merchant at the British Museum. Her courage and intelligence shine through Bettina Krahn's writing. Assigned to the most boring of tasks, she discovers notes that she thinks point to the location of the Great Library of Alexander! Laughed at by the British Museum, she journeys on her own to Casablanca and becomes entangled with a murky gentlemen. Together, they win through in many satisfying ways.
