About This Book

A social scene unfolds as Nataly receives guests and rumours about Victor, Dartrey, and sudden deaths, which expose jealousies and small public cruelties. Confronted by betrayal and the sting of gossip, she endures a sharp inward reckoning about her subservience to Victor, reappraises her identity, and resolves to act for herself. The account moves between outward propriety and private turmoil as she arranges telegrams and travel, balancing duty and desire while the surrounding society’s intrigues propel her toward a decisive change of course.
