Doctor Cupid: A Novel

Two young sisters living in a modest house beneath a neighbouring grand household navigate domestic routines, social obligations, and the small dramas of local life as visitors, dinners, dances, and entertainments pass through their home. The narrative sketches comic and awkward set pieces that arise from class contrasts, gossip, and the burden of accommodating a larger household, while romantic prospects, flirtations, and social ambitions complicate everyday relations. Witty observation and careful domestic detail reveal manners, envies, and quiet ironies within a close-knit provincial community.
