Book Cover Design Brief
book cover: The Quaintrelle by Henrietta Shires
Here's a synopsis of the book: Rita married rich and spent her days disapproving of her stepdaughter, shopping or seeing to it waiters and certain shop girls were fired. It all changed however after she was paid a visit in her palatial home. In her misadventures she makes some acquaintances and foes, but she is always stuck in the same situation. The bridges she has burned and the wrongs she has done have pushed their way into her life. Is she resigned to live the rest of her days like this? Will she roll up her sleeves and do something?

This will be an ebook so the illustration should look good as a thumbnail. Here are some covers that will show my tastes:
