Miss Primrose | Agnes Giberne

Set in a quiet English village, 'Miss Primrose' by Agnes Giberne (1845-1939) is a story of a woman who seriously needs a vibe check. Miss Martha Primrose is that one older lady in town who's super judgy, super proper, and thinks she's always right. She follows the rules to the letter and looks down on anyone who doesn't. But under all that pride and coldness? A lonely heart that's never really been challenged or shown any real love. A mix of unexpected friendships, personal struggles, and encounters with people she used to ignore or look down on begin to chip away at her icy exterior.

It's kind of like a 19th-century slow-burn redemption arc. No flashy plot twists, just a steady, meaningful shift from pride to 10/10m.
