Synopsis

A witty, genteel tale of love, vanity, and secrets set among a country-house circle.

In a world of polished manners and sharp dialogue, Miss Harland and her companions navigate love, trust, and the truth behind social roles. The story weaves humor with a touch of melodrama as characters debate belief, courage, and the costs of pretending.

Across Grasslands and Sunnydale, the book explores how romance, pride, and loyalty collide, often with both laughter and a hint of scandal. It centers on women who must decide whether to reveal the past or protect the future, all while the men contend with pride and honor.

  • Witty, brisk social banter that reveals character and motive
  • Romantic entanglements shaped by pride, secrecy, and honesty
  • Vivid portraits of a circle of friends and family at a country estate
  • A blend of charm, satire, and gentle moral exploration in a late Victorian setting

Ideal for readers who enjoy elegant social drama, clever exchanges, and romance tempered by real emotional stakes.
