slang – The Armchair Anglophile

Edwardian Language-Translated

EditorBeeJanuary 21, 2012

It's a daisy-roots and brolly kind of day in my part of the world, so I've been spending my morning brushing up on some random Edwardianisms over at The Edwardian...

A modern-day retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion, set in the sizzling, cutthroat world of the Edinburgh restaurant scene.

Susan and Chris had an intense relationship, and an equally intense breakup. Now, ten years later, the two of them find themselves in charge of competing restaurants and fighting the attraction they both feel. Will it be a second chance at love, or will a movie star, a poisonous gossip blogger, and meddling family members ruin things once and for all?
