About This Book

This volume follows a prosperous merchant family and their circle as speculative investments, pride, and social aspiration unsettle domestic life. Romantic entanglements and class resentment push a young woman from yearning into schemes of revenge and ambition, while loans, debts, and an aristocratic visitor intensify tensions at the family seat. Subplots trace legal surprises, the reading of an important will, a lieutenant’s financial ruin and consequent passion, and various attempts at social advancement. Episodic seasonal scenes map changing fortunes and moral choices, exploring how finance, reputation, and personal longing reshape relationships and futures.
