About This Book

After a celebrated young woman marries a confirmed bachelor, social circles respond with envy and curiosity. She adapts to her new place while reshaping the lives of friends, notably transforming a plain acquaintance into a social success. Admiration, gossip, and publicity bring strain: mistaken attentions, family tensions, and a misunderstanding between her and her husband test loyalties. Encounters with an acclaimed artist and crises of independence prompt choices about freedom and affection, and a resolution emerges as she confronts the claims of love, reputation, and selfhood.
