The Chattaway sisters, Rora and Ida, defy the expectations of their time and embark on a series of romantic adventures in the 18th century.

Over six seasons, the Chattaway Girls, Rora, Ida and Zela struggle in love, marriage, and economy.
Rora, letter writer and matchmaker, struggles to arrange a better love for her rambunctious sister, Ida, who goes with a lowly rider. Zela, the beauty of the clan, claims she prefers the chase to the catch. Rora’s love comes last. Across the expanse of oceans, and outreaches of courtship, a puzzle of correspondences ensues; love with a captain of the high seas. After seasons waiting, will she secure a love of her own?
Hooroo Jackson’s debut novel The Unweddable Chattaway Girls is a whimsical homage to Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde and DH Lawrence, with a dose of Roald Dahl’s comic sensibility. Told through clever and artful weavings of dialogue, rich and poignant emotions and funny letter, the epic romantic comedy brings an air of entertainment and mischief across every page.
