Kästner, Erich. (2001/1929). Emil and the Detectives. Trans. Eileen Hall. Glens Falls: Red Fox Books. There are a great many puzzles in Miss Holmes's life. Not in the least of these is the reason why her mother abandoned Miss Holmes on the morning of her fourteenth birthday. As much as that bothered and stymied young Miss Holmes, it also burdened me with curiosity and speculation. This title is only available as an ebook or audiobook. [7] Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade (2022) [ edit ]

She is a very accomplished “villain” and “liar”. A very successful one, rather. Mrs. Holmes, has successfully ruined her offspring’s life and future. Congratulation. The gist is that Enola's mom disappears on her 14th birthday and it turns out that she's been fleecing Mycroft for money. She was supposed to have all kinds of things like gardeners, horse stables, and a governess for Enola. Not so much. Book Enola does not have a close relationship with her mother at all. She's basically raised herself. (Although the book gives more details about why Mrs Holmes is sufficiently upset with her sons to disappear.) Kövecses, Zoltán (2010). Metaphor and Culture.

Adventure Book club Book review Detective Enola Holmes Fiction Four-stars Middle-grade fiction Moie tie-in Mysteries Nancy Springer Philomel Books Previous post I liked the anount of ugly, historical details Nancy Springer included in this story, from the rampant misogyny, poverty, dirt and criminal elements. What a great start to a new and exciting series. I'll definitely look forward to the next instalment. Highly recommended. Moreover, I really don’t like the way the author brought up the theme of woman suffrage. The theme is exciting enough. However, I think the author is missing the point. Woman suffrage is about democracy and liberalism. The author seems to confuse this with anarchy. Woman suffrage is about equality and fairness, not lawlessness.Having just turned 14 years old, Enola discovers that her mother has disappeared leaving no clue as to her whereabouts. She is torn between loving devotion and worry for her mother's welfare and a deep sense of anger and disappointment at the possibility that her mother has simply left and abandoned her to her own devices. When she calls for the assistance of her two brilliant older brothers, she is horrified to discover that, having failed dismally to discover what happened to their mother, they mean to take over her life and force her to attend a stultifying boarding school for gentle young ladies.
