About This Book

The novel follows a household of sisters whose contrasting characters—timid Emma, self-satisfied Margaret, and forward Penelope—produce domestic tensions and social maneuvering. Invitations, visits and a country ball prompt flirtations, jealousies and tactical friendships that expose anxieties about appearance, marriage and respectability. Parlor scenes, travel episodes and family argument advance romantic possibilities and misunderstandings, balancing light satire of manners with moments of moral reflection as loyalties and personal growth are tested by social expectations.
