About This Book

The novel follows a circle of country gentry when a fashionable visitor named Nora is steadied by a resourceful country girl, Nell, after a runaway carriage; Nora’s attempt to compensate leads her to the farm and provokes speculation about family connections, social standing, and romantic interest among the house guests. Through domestic episodes, flirtations, and discreet revelations, the narrative examines manners, pride, and the uneasy boundary between urban leisure and rural life.
