About This Book

A spirited young woman copes with domestic life, fashion worries, and a close, dreamy sister while engaging with a circle of friends and suitors. Social gatherings, comic misadventures, and romantic rivalries give way to darker incidents including illness, loss, and courageous rescues. Parallel courtships and misunderstandings produce a sequence of engagements, explanations, and reconciliations, and the narrative alternates light-hearted scenes with sober reflection as relationships are tested and ultimately settled amid departures and new beginnings.
