About This Book
A spirited young woman reared under a stern grandmother's roof rebels by leaving home to seek an estranged mother who works on the stage. Early episodes show her discovery of hidden doors and the impulsive decision to run away, then introduce an ally who offers practical help and companionship. Subsequent sections shift viewpoint and reveal intrigues, rivalries, and a plotted attempt to influence her fate. The narrative examines longing for family and selfhood, the tensions between romantic idealism and social expectation, and a sequence of misadventures that lead to a decisive resolution of her place in the world.
