About This Book
A late-Victorian social romance follows a circle of young people whose flirtations, jealousies, and misunderstandings propel a succession of scenes of wit and sentiment. Through lively small-talk and spirited encounters, characters such as Susan, Crosby, and Lady Muriel test attractions shaped by rank and reputation, while rivalries and playful machinations complicate courtship. Episodes alternate light comedy and touches of pathos, resolving through frank revelations and reconciliations that emphasize feeling over moralizing, and the narrative unfolds in an episodic, dialogue-driven structure.
