About This Book
The narrative begins with a young man devastated by a sudden broken engagement and a woman later abandoned by her husband, who burns his curt farewell and resolves to face practical realities. Over ensuing years the story follows shifting fortunes and social positions as characters wrestle with jealousy, betrayal, and the consequences of impulsive choices. Romantic misunderstandings and reversals of wealth drive moral reckonings and revelations about identity, responsibility, and the competing demands of passion and duty.
