Synopsis

Witty social satire of Victorian manners and romance — a sharp, entertaining look at ambitious hosts, young women, and the price of fancy gatherings on river boats and grand drawing rooms.

Set among a circle of London society, the story follows Judith Maitland and her family as they navigate marriage debates, artistic dreams, and the pull of status. With keen observations and lively dialogue, the book blends romance, humor, and social critique as characters chase influence, affection, and independence across delicate class boundaries.


  • Relatable characters who clash with rules of society and household power

  • Humor woven through social rituals, from picnics to grand breakfasts

  • Portraits of artists, patrons, and aspiring debutantes in a bustling era

  • A voyage through London life to continental travel, with a focus on choices and consequence



Ideal for readers who enjoy historical fiction with witty characterization and a candid look at manners, ambition, and family ties.
