About This Book

An interrupted engagement is renewed, leading to a marriage that transforms a once-timid young woman into a polished society wife whose travels and refined dress conceal an inner resistance to the moral and emotional compromises she has made. Relatives react with mixed approval and unease, as a determined husband, social ambition, and domestic tensions provoke discoveries, a crisis, and confrontations; subsequent reckonings involve farewells, consolation, and attempts at reparation that bring the story to a resolution focused on personal fulfilment and restored relations.
