Little, Brown’s Finishing School Tumblr site has been a hit with fans and bloggers, and Carriger’s February 12 appearance on the publisher’s Live at the Lounge video chat series has been viewed more than 1,300 times. Little, Brown ordered a 100,000-copy first printing for Etiquette & Espionage, which has received four starred reviews to date (including one from PW), and landed on the New York Times bestseller list its first week on sale.
Marking Carriger’s YA debut, the novel is set in the same world as her Parasol Protectorate series for adults, and has had an auspicious launch. Such is the premise of Gail Carriger’s Etiquette & Espionage, released by Little, Brown on February 5, which opens the four-book Finishing School series.
Though the fine arts of dance, dress, and etiquette are all part of the curriculum, the academy is actually a school for aspiring spies, located in a flying dirigible. In Victorian England, Sophronia’s mother, desperate for her 14-year-old daughter to become a proper lady, enrolls her in Mademoiselle Geraldine’s Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality.
