A sharp, character-driven tale about fortune, ambition, and the costs of "good luck." A quiet rector’s doubts, a scheming heiress, and a web of society in transition set the stage for a novel of social maneuvering and personal choice. With wit and warmth, this story follows Veronica as she navigates wealth, influence, and a future she intends to shape—even as others shape her.
In a world of drawing rooms, country houses, and London salons, the stakes rise through clever observations and delicate power plays. From the calm ofHarbury Vale to the bustle of high society, the characters move with purpose, vulnerability, and a hunger for status that can bend the heart and the clock alike.
