The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion: Vol. 1 by Beth Brower
A woman goes back to live in Lapis Lazuli house. She is supposed to inherit it when she comes of age. However, now she is subject to some evil relative that occupies it. Through the journals we discover her history and how she ended up in this state. Her parents have both died. They had took pity on the relative that lives in the house. However, he has returned that niceness by squandering the fortune and treating the protagonist poorly. She seems to be in the upper middle class. Her family is not among the poor, neither are they rich. There are relatives that have various schemes they are engaging. She participates to some extent. The book is well written, but quite short and seems to end halfway through the story. It does make a "Jane Austen" scenario actually readable.
