Description

Lavinia Carew lives at the intersection of duty and desire, where family expectations and private longings collide in increasingly delicate ways. As she navigates friendships and loyalties—especially in the wake of Féodorovna’s presence—her relationships are tested by embarrassment, moral disagreement, and the quiet power of social judgment. With an engagement to her cousin, Rupert, offering one path forward, Lavinia must decide what it truly means to remain faithful to herself when those closest to her demand otherwise. Rhoda Broughton’s sharp, dialogue-driven style brings to life the tensions of female bonds and the costs of choosing truth over comfort, making this a compelling study of love, reputation, and conscience.
