Description
Set in Edwardian England, this sharply observed novel follows a young girl whose seemingly secure family life is unsettled by the secrets, hypocrisies, and social tensions surrounding her. Through a child’s perceptive eyes, the story explores the fragile boundaries between respectability and rebellion, faith and doubt, and childhood innocence and adult knowledge. Witty, compassionate, and quietly subversive, it offers a richly atmospheric portrait of family, class, gender, and the restrictive conventions of its time.
