Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a delightful insight into the Victorian era, as seen through the eyes of a young woman experiencing the irksome constraints of polite society and the difficulties of securing her place within it. The author presents her beautiful, determined protagonist as a strong female character in 19th-century rural England where women are very much second-class citizens. The scandalous attentions of a suitor she doesn't love and the theft of her watch and purse all conspire to try to keep her down, but through a series of events, she ultimately triumphs over her persecutors and wins the day.
