Enola Holmes 2: The Case of the Left-Handed Lady

Product Information

Enola tries to find Lady Cecily Alistair, who disappeared from her bedroom. Enola, after disguising herself, talks to Lady Cecily's family, who think she has run off with the son of a tradesman. Enola finds some strange paintings that make her doubt that notion, and goes to find their daughter.

What the case needs is, of course, a young lady’s touch. After all, who better to look for a missing young lady than another young lady? Auch Enola Holmes, die 14jährige Protagonistin und kleine Schwester der berühmten Holmes Brüder hat damit zu kämpfen, denn es schleichen sich immer wieder Zweifel und Selbstkritik ein. Während nämlich ihre Brüder auf ihre nüchterne, rationelle Art versuchen, sie in London zu finden, hat Enola Eigeninitiative bewiesen und versucht, in die Fußstapfen ihrer Mutter zu treten. Sie möchte nicht in diese klassische Frauenrolle dieser Zeit gepresst werden und ein stilles Vorzeigefrauchen in der Gesellschaft werden, sondern auf ihren eigenen Füßen stehen und Freiheit genießen. Lol Enola tries to read Marx and legit just almost falls asleep. She calls it nonsense. Good for her.I read “ The Case of the Left-Handed Lady” to see if Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series would improve with the second instalment. My thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the DRC of “Enola Holmes: The Graphic Novels”. This review is voluntary and contains my honest opinion about the book. Tras terminar la lectura de Enola Holmes y el misterio de la doble desaparición, no me pude resistir a empezar casi de inmediato la 2º novela gráfica de Enola Holmes y, aunque le he visto más puntos débiles a nivel argumental, me ha gustado bastante. Sé que, diciendo esto, 3 estrellas pueden parecer pocas, pero es que no puedo ignorar algunos detalles que me dejaron una sensación agridulce. I enjoyed this little adventure and you will too if you are looking for a sparkling girl trying to find a life for herself while doing her best to help others. ThinkerViews Rating: En cuanto al caso que Enola investiga, pues no está mal, al menos no parece tan improvisado como el del libro anterior y se ve a Enola esforzándose por recabar pruebas. Lo que no me convence es que no me parecía que a ella le interesara en exceso el asunto. A ver, comprendo que solo tiene 14 años y que, aunque haya demostrado ser madura para su edad, pues no sea experta en lo que hace, pero me daba la impresión de que el trabajo era para ella una especie de entretenimiento y que lo usaba para poder ver hasta qué punto se le daba bien camuflarse y obtener testimonios de otras personas. Aquí debe buscar a Lady Cecily, una joven de clase alta que se esfumó de su casa supuestamente para huir con un chico, pero pronto se ve que no es así y hay que ir analizando otras opciones. Hay hallazgos que considero que estaban bien justificados, pero en otros sencillamente veía a Enola hacer deducciones milagrosas. Hasta la propia Enola parecía querer tirar la toalla muchas veces, así que esa desgana hizo que a mí el caso me acabara causando una cierta indiferencia.

And after Perry gets his day in court the true murderer will be revealed and the entire case explained. A good mystery for any Perry Mason fan. This country is mad for valuing people according to their titles. Why should an idle so-called aristocrat be considered more of a gentleman than any thrifty, sober, industrious member of the working class? Nevertheless, not all was bad in either novel so, if you liked the first instalment in this series, you’re likely to enjoy this one just as much. Or, in my case, not that much.

In this book, Enola takes on the case of a missing young girl named Lady Cecily. She disappeared one night without a trace, and the police are baffled as to whether she was kidnapped or simply ran away. There are no clues.

In spite of the realistic view of the era as shared above, the author does not shirk away from featuring some ghastly and otherwordly stuff similar to the narratives of the Holmes adventures, e.g. the references to Mesmerism which is kind of hypnotising someone to get them do your evil biddings, or the Dr. Jekyll vs Mr. Hyde personality transformation of the villain who turns into a monster with a wig :). It is important to note two very important facts: 1) The setting is Victorian England, roughly the latter-half of the 19th century. Not the best time and place for young girls, and women in general, looking to make a career for themselves. 2) Enola’s last name is Holmes. She is the younger sister of another famous detective, the one that lives on Baker Street. Yes, that Holmes. a b c d Montz, Amy L. (2019).

And I mean I get it, it's a watered-down illustrated version, and much of the Enola/Cecily dynamic actually goes on within Enola's head (trust me, it's not as creepy as it sounds)(it's only a little creepy)(which in case you're wondering, I completely stan), and while in the book her and Cecily spend little time together, there's always the hope and possibility of their friendship in the future. But, as this was only a summary of a much superior book, much of that was cut. Again, as in almost every detective fiction, clues conveniently present themselves whenever Enola is around. There are too many coincidences to be believable. Here are some of the historic comments that the author uses when recalling the worker’s marches in London of those days: Enola’s inquiring mind and indomitable spirit made me want to spend more time with her. I look forward to hanging out with Enola as she continues to subvert her allotted position in nineteenth century London in future graphic novel adaptations. Along with great stories, the art in "Enola" is stunning! I believe the artist used markers to achieve their style, but the effect is more like a stylized watercolor. The story flows well from panel to panel with bright splashes, and I was entertained enough to read all three in one sitting.

I haven’t met Enola’s mother yet but I love her already. She’s a suffragist who’s schooled her daughter in activities that will be useful, as opposed to those that will facilitate her transformation into a houseplant. Weniger gut gelungen empfand ich diesmal aber die allgemeine Umsetzung, denn vieles erschloss sich erst viel später oder wurde gar erst in den geheimen Notizen am Ende des Bandes erklärt. Für Neuleser ohne die Kenntnisse aus den Büchern, dürfte es hier etwas schwerer fallen, da z.B. auch ein paar Dinge ausgelassen wurden. Ich fand es z.B. sehr schade, dass man den Großbasar Finch & Sohn nicht mehr hervorhob, obwohl er der erste Markt war, der gemischte Waren anbot. Am schwierigsten zu greifen war für mich aber Enola im Nonnenkostüm, da erst viel zu spät aufgeklärt wurde, was sie da tat. Klar waren dies nur Kleinigkeiten, aber sie nahmen mir einfach den Lesefluss.

La diferencia es que aquí el caso principal está más trabajado, aunque siguió faltando que tuviera un poco más de chispa para llegar a ser adictivo. Eso es lo que me impide darle más puntuación, ya que hasta me parecía que algunos descubrimientos se daban de forma milagrosa. Para mí, lo mejor de esta novela ha sido todo el asunto de Enola intentando evadir a sus hermanos. Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this graphic novel. According to a report by UK news outlet Surrey Live, the film allegedly filmed across two locations: Surrey and Hankley Common. SurreyLive stated that a social media post suggested Enola Holmes 2 was filmed at Hankley Common from October 11, 2021 until October 13, 2021. Plus, they posted photos of "filming" signs on set, and in October 2021, People magazine also shared a photo of Millie on set.
