Synopsis

A social drama of love, duty, and ambition unfolds through a network of sisters, nieces, and friends in India and England. A sharp, entertaining window into a world where appearances mask clever schemes and real ambitions.

In this opening volume, the Jervis family and their circle move between Cantonments in India and drawing rooms at Princes Gate. Power, romance, and practical plans collide as characters juggle marriages, money, and social expectations, all told with wit and vivid detail. The story centers on colorful households, sharp dialogue, and the push-pull of duty and desire that defines an era.

• Meet Mrs. Langrishe, her niece Lalla, and the charm, flaws, and schemes that bind them.


• Watch the clash of talent, kindness, and ambition as family members navigate love and duty.


• See life among friends and acquaintances in India, with a focus on social rituals, travel plans, and domestic devices.


• Follow quick, character-rich scenes that blend humor, sentiment, and a keen eye for social dynamics.

Ideal for readers who enjoy brisk, character-driven historical fiction with a light, satirical edge and a vivid sense of place.
