Description

In Victorian England, Beryl Brenton is thrust into a life shaped by rigid social expectations, where every choice carries consequences and every misstep threatens her standing. As she navigates courtship, reputation, and the pressures of class and gender, she must learn how to act decisively in a world determined to define her. With tension and momentum, the novel explores pursuit and escape—both literal and emotional—while testing what it truly means to be free. Florence Marryat’s spirited, character-driven style brings sharp social observation to a story of resilience, self-determination, and the fight to control one’s own future.
