Description
Princess Nadège Napraxine is a dazzling “mondaine”—a glamorous female dandy whose beauty, wealth, and razor-sharp wit make her the center of high society’s orbit. Yet beneath the glittering salons and cultivated charm lies a story of unrequited love, betrayal, and the quiet, grinding cost of living inside a loveless marriage. As alliances shift and reputations fracture, Nadège’s choices ripple outward, revealing how power and desire can both wound and blind. With Ouida’s signature blend of social satire and emotional intensity, the novel turns on themes of sacrifice, moral consequence, and the suffering that often goes unseen until it is too late.
