1. T. J. Brown drew quite a bit of inspiration for the scenes in which Victoria languishes in prison from personal accounts of suffragettes who were imprisoned (sometimes more than once!) for the cause. Visit the website http://www.alicesuffragette.co.uk/audio.html#prisonnotes to listen to recordings of suffragette Alice Hawkins’s own letters and notes from prison.
2. Prudence’s storyline centers on her struggle to settle into her new life as a homemaker and wife to an aspiring veterinarian, and one of her biggest obstacles is cooking. Create a dish like one Prudence would have had to learn from Muriel to serve to your book group, like meat pies or scones. Do you relate to her struggles in the kitchen after attempting these recipes?
3. Host a viewing party of the PBS series Downton Abbey or a similar series such as Upstairs Downstairs. If the Summerset Abbey novels were made into a film or television series, who would you cast, and why? Which role would you most like to play?
4. Learn more about author T. J. Brown and the women of Summerset by visiting her website: http://www.tjbrownbooks.com
T. J. BROWN makes her historical fiction debut with the Summerset Abbey trilogy: Summerset Abbey; Summerset Abbey: A Bloom in Winter; and Summerset Abbey: Spring Awakening. She lives in Portland, Oregon. Visit the author at www.tjbrownbooks.com.
