About This Book

The narrative continues the intertwined lives of three sisters whose romantic relations and rivalries lead to an attempted elopement, a delayed marriage and later domestic trials. One sister weds an aspiring artist and adapts to humbler living in a suburban boarding-house while jealousies, misunderstandings and differing ambitions test attachments. Episodes alternate between intimate domestic scenes, social satire of boarding-house company, and the consequences of passion and caprice, moving toward confrontations within family and conscience that force reckonings about love, duty and artistic striving.
