Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the fascinating world of 19th-century England, a time of social upheaval and changing mores, particularly for women. The author sets the scene in the drawing-room of a wealthy widow, Mrs. Podkins, who is hosting a party for her daughter, Clarissa, a charming young woman of sixteen. As the guests gather, we witness the social dynamics of the time, the subtle games of courtship, and the anxieties that surround the expectations for women in their roles as daughters, wives, and mothers. The arrival of a young prodigy, Seraphina, a child said to be a musical phenomenon, disrupts the social order and stirs up a whirlwind of excitement. The author uses this event to explore the anxieties about social class, the pressures of finding a suitable husband, and the burgeoning fascination with the power of talent in a society obsessed with the exceptional. Through the witty observations of the characters, the author deftly reveals the complex interplay of love, money, and the pursuit of social advancement. The novel cleverly uses the figure of the child prodigy to comment on the prevailing notions of the role of women in society and the enduring allure of the fantastical. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259172598_0
