About This Book

A close social circle negotiates romantic entanglements, theatrical ambition, and moneyed anxieties as domestic gaiety gives way to schemes and secrets. At home and in dressing-rooms the young hostess, her friends, suitors, and a comic miser interact amid card readings, rehearsals for a stage piece called A Heart of Gold, and well-meaning interventions. Parties, a contested engagement ring, warnings from an avaricious relative, and the discovery of hidden treasure drive shifting loyalties. The narrative balances light comedy and sentimental romance with moments of entrapment, financial plotting, and moral testing.
