Description
In the shadow of a grand estate, two sisters—proper Peggy and the more romantically inclined Prue—inhabit a smaller world where every conversation, glance, and invitation carries weight. As youthful hopes collide with the strictures of Victorian respectability, their days unfold in a lively mix of social observation, comic missteps, and quietly escalating feelings. Rhoda Broughton’s sharp, witty storytelling turns courtship into a kind of theater, exploring how desire is shaped—and sometimes distorted—by class, reputation, and expectation. With romance at its center and character-driven humor throughout, this novel offers an engaging look at the pursuit of love when the rules of the heart are written by society.
