Description
In this sharp social commentary, Rhoda Broughton masterfully skewers Victorian conventions through the story of Gillian Latimer, a young woman whose life is upended by a dramatic loss of fortune. Forced to confront the stark realities of wealth and societal expectations, Gillian finds herself navigating a complex web of duty, desire, and the often-unseen compromises of marriage. Broughton's signature witty dialogue and keen satirical eye illuminate the restrictive nature of the era's institutions, particularly marriage, as her characters grapple with unconventional choices and the pursuit of personal happiness.
