After reading chapter 4, I am inclined to believe this story might take light inspiration from a novel by Anne Brontë, "Agnes Gray." Both stories are set in similar time frames, and if Mr. Pense's property goes down in a ship wreak, which is most likely with a rogue wave of that size. Lily might be in for a rude awakening if her family suddenly loses invested property. I could be completely wrong! Time will tell. I highly recommend Anne Brontë's work if you like Jane Austin. Brontë's writing has more mature undertones than Austin's, but both are very enjoyable to read.

    I’m a fan of Jane Austen and I’ve also heard about Bronte from a friend so I might check this out! Thanks for the recommendation~ (=・ω・=)

    So nice to meet an Austin fan! I highly recommend Anne Brontë. I am always so sad she only wrote two books! I listen to both on Librivox, it's a free site. I can't remember what version I like of Agnes Gray, but I love the version 2 dramatic reading for the Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Happy reading!

    Your comment made me realise I read books by Charlotte and Emily Brontë (Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights) but nothing frome Anne! I have to remedy to this right away! Though until now, I think the Brontë's sisters works are quite different frome Austen's, I love all of them.
