About This Book

The novel follows a young heiress, Jessie, who resists her guardian Sandow's plan to marry her to Gustave, a man whose literary enthusiasms clash with commercial ambitions. Sandow insists on a union that secures family business interests and wealth; Jessie objects to what she sees as mercenary motives and the sacrifice of idealism. The story probes the tension between romantic ideals and material pragmatism, guardianship and personal autonomy, and how social and economic expectations shape marriage and future prospects, unfolding through domestic scenes and argumentative confrontations that reveal characters' principles and ambitions.
