Description
In this bright, entertaining 19th-century novel, two sisters, Lenore and Jemima, set out to travel through Brittany, France, where picturesque landscapes and unfamiliar customs quickly give way to deeper questions of the heart. As romance and misunderstanding swirl around them, the story also turns a discerning eye toward identity and expectation—especially through a character whose “unmanly” sensibility challenges the roles society insists upon. With wit, warmth, and a keen sense of human feeling, the narrative blends travel adventure with a lively exploration of love, selfhood, and the courage it takes to choose one’s own path. Rhoda Broughton’s distinctive style—sharp, spirited, and emotionally observant—makes this a memorable read that feels both playful and quietly profound.
