Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Geraldine Lang, a young woman returning to her native New York after fourteen years abroad. The author skillfully blends witty social observation with a poignant exploration of identity and self-discovery. Geraldine's journey back to America is not merely a physical one, but a journey of rediscovering her roots and confronting the expectations that come with her newfound wealth and status. The narrative captures the social dynamics of the early 20th century, particularly the tension between inherited wealth and the pursuit of personal happiness. While the book's setting is firmly rooted in the early 1900s, the author explores timeless themes of love, social pressure, and the challenges of navigating complex relationships. The story, set against the backdrop of a transatlantic voyage, explores how individuals deal with the conflicting pulls of duty, family, and personal desire. Ultimately, this book offers a charming and insightful glimpse into the lives of those seeking their place in a world defined by both tradition and burgeoning modernity.
