Beth Brower’s book about Quincy is a delightful read with snappy dialogue and wonderful metaphors. On New Year’s Eve, Quincy St. Claire’s well-ordered world is set askew. Her Uncle Ezekiel tells her that, upon his demise, she must fulfill a list of requirements in order to inherit his publication, The Q. But Quincy is not to be told what those requirements are, and the only person in possession of that knowledge is her silent, disapproving solicitor, James Arch.
All of Rhysdon is intrigued by Quincy’s genius and her adeptness at turning a profit through her fierce focus on business, excluding all else. Surrounded by a unique cadre of individuals who find their way to the offices of The Q, Quincy is determined to win her Uncle’s absurd game, and keep the only thing she has ever cared about.
“Although Quincy had never trusted in what could not be seen on paper or before her face—invisibility’s were, in her mind, always dismissible—she was forced to admit that, as she held his gaze, the tension, the pull of argument, and perhaps a mutual dislike hung so tightly between them that one more try of the screw might cause the air to snap.”
“Quincy quickly served each young lady, taking down questions, seeing to payments, watching one dark-haired girls with an accent—French?—steal glances in Fisher’s direction that were to sweet Quincy was surprised he didn’t look up from finding the taste of syrup in his mouth.”
