To the world Mrs Copplefield is the epitome of Victorian propriety: an exemplary society lady who writes a weekly column advising young ladies on how to be better wives.
Only Adeline has never been a good wife or mother; she has no claim to the Copplefield name, nor is she an English lady . . .
Now a black woman, born in Africa, who dared to pretend to be something she was not, is on trial in the English courts with all of London society baying for her blood. And she is ready to tell her story . . .
"When I set out to write this book, I knew I wanted to write about a Black women living in Victorian England. I was deliberate about relying less on the 'slave ' or 'maid' narrative and instead place the focus on a resilient, resourceful and wealthy Victorian woman who just happens to be Black.
It was also important for me to highlight the contributions of women of African descent who have mostly been erased from history. Although ‘Temi’ is a fictional character, there are ‘guest stars’ in this novel like, Sarah Parker Remond the only known Black woman to sign the register for women's rights in 1866 and Alice Kinloch. Both these Black women have all made a difference at a time when women’s voices were muted." --- Author, Lola Jaye

Children love it, it&#39;s a must for families with kids! I saw British schools also organize students to play there. Overall, it&#39;s more worthwhile than the Whisky Museum and the Peter Rabbit Museum. The first two are actually worth going to the shopping malls to buy something, and the doors of the shopping malls are open to passers-by.

We made a dedicated trip and had a lovely few hours. There was lots to see with split levels that kept your interest. The penguins were nice, the octopus made an appearance and we would have loved to see more of the otters., we see the otters.. There is plenty to see, read and touch. My grand daughter loved it all, the turtle in the tunnel is beautiful . It was clean, and we had a great time, would definitely go back, staff were helpful,its really nice and deserve to be visited again and again.

For a smaller town the Art Museum as great. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it if you are traveling to Birmingham. Make sure to call ahead to see if they are open.

There are Chinese Super League, restaurants, and many other specialty restaurants to choose from.
It&#39;s not hard to find something to eat here.
However, the food at this restaurant was a bit disappointing.

I think the ticket price is a bit expensive. Either I can&#39;t understand the beauty of this garden, I personally like Japanese gardens. But I have been to other European gardens and I think they are more orderly than this one. If it is a free attraction, it is okay, but the price is so high, the cost performance is really average.
