About This Book
A four-act social drama follows a young bride whose public wedding and Roman honeymoon give way to domestic complications when return to New York exposes romantic misunderstandings, secret burdens, and class-conscious social maneuvering among her friends and family. Scenes shift from an elegant domestic salon to the Vatican and the couple's home, unfolding flirtations, financial anxieties, and concealed loyalties that strain marriages and alliances. The action pivots on whispered confidences, mistakes of judgment, and the clash between private desire and public appearance, testing characters' loyalties and forcing candid reckonings about love, reputation, and social obligation.
