About This Book

The novel follows the sudden appearance of a young woman in a genteel social circle and the ripple of attraction, suspicion, and rivalry that follows. Family members, a devoted admirer, and a courtly suitor react differently—some flattered, others accusing her of opportunism—while dinners, visits, birthday gifts, excursions, and whispered confidences escalate romantic manoeuvres, a proposal, misunderstandings, and legal complications. Through comic domestic scenes and candid confrontations the characters probe motives and self-deceptions, leading to open confessions and a settling of relationships.
