4 mga parte Kumpleto Perfect-let's blend Jane Austen's wit, Emily Dickinson's quiet longing, and the social tension of Pride and Prejudice, all while staying true to a YA sensibility. Here's a revised concept with those inspirations in mind:

Title: The Language of Flowers
Genre: YA Historical Romance / Victorian Era / Queer Fiction
Setting: A quiet countryside estate near Bath, England - 1856

Premise:
In a world where a lady's virtue is worth more than her voice, two young women from vastly different social classes are brought together by poetry, pressed flowers, and the kind of love no one dares speak aloud.

Main Characters:
• Margaret "Meg" Ellington (18):
The second daughter of a once-prestigious but now financially troubled family. Meg is sharp, bookish, and known for her quick tongue-a girl who quotes Byron and critiques the guests at her mother's tea parties for fun. She is resigned to the inevitability of marriage, but secretly dreams of publishing poetry under a male pseudonym.
• Clara Whitmore (19):
The new companion to the Dowager Lady Ashcombe, hired to read, write letters, and keep her company at the grand Rosefield Hall. Clara is intelligent, observant, and has a peculiar habit of leaving pressed violets in the pages of books. She's from modest means but carries herself with quiet defiance. Her private letters, never sent, read like Dickinson poems-aching, tender, and full of buried desire.

Plot:
When Meg is sent to Rosefield Hall to stay with her aging godmother and escape the gossip surrounding her sister's broken engagement, she expects boredom and lectures on manners. Instead, she meets Clara, the mysterious companion with ink-stained hands and a knowing gaze.
The girls form a friendship over their shared love of literature and long walks in the garden. They begin exchanging poetry, sometimes their own, sometimes Dickinson's
