An American Wife in Paris by Chrystyna Lucyk-Bergerhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
As the title suggests,
The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies
is an amusing historical fiction about the daring adventures of twin aristocratic sisters who risk more than their reputations to rescue women living in desperately awful circumstances. Fun, but also dark.
My review of ...ill-mannered Ladies
I finished listening to Horse by Geraldine Brooks - 3*.Well written and researched story that’s mostly about horse racing, the big contributions that blacks made to the horse racing industry in the mid-1800s and the tragedy of slavery.

Second Chances in Bellbird Bay by Maggie Christensenhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A Sydney brothel in 1930 may not sound like a YA setting, but I think teens would enjoy young Violet. Even the title, Violet Kelly and the Jade Owl, sounds good. It's a mystery with some local history by Aussie author Fiona Britton
My review of Violet Kelly and the Jade Owl
