Pandora by Susan Stokes-Chapman

Happy book birthday to PANDORA by Susan Stokes! Dora's parents had a well established antiquities business well thought of by both scholars and adventurers alike. That all changed after an accident at a dig site left Dora in the care of her uncle and since that time Dora, the shop and her family's good name have deteriorated. She is determined to succeed as a jewelry designer but needs a foot in the right door to get started. Across town a young bookbinder is desperate to join the elite Antiquity Society yet even with his wealthy and titled friend's help has been unable to win them over. Myth or coincidence - the delivery of an ancient Greek vase to Pandora's uncle will change their lives. Historical fiction that blends Regency romance, the British love and hunt for all things ancient and the struggles of the working class vs. the peerage together into this imaginative debut. I listened to the audiobook and found the narrator to be a perfect choice.  4 stars
