Description
In this opulent Victorian novel, the pure and intelligent Vere Herbert finds herself thrust into the glittering, yet morally ambiguous, world of European high society. Raised in rural seclusion, her innocence is tested by the scandalous affairs, cynicism, and brutality that lie beneath the surface of aristocratic life. The narrative boldly confronts Victorian taboos such as adultery, domestic violence, and divorce, all rendered in the author's signature vivid and flamboyant prose. "Moths" offers a compelling exploration of societal hypocrisy and the struggle for integrity in a world of gilded cages.
