Synopsis

A moody, from-the-heart drama of love, secrets, and choice in a cosmopolitan Geneva pension.

Set in a winter when a quiet guesthouse becomes a stage for inner conflict, this story follows Felicia and a circle of women whose lives converge in the Pension Boccard. Amid dwindling social energies and sharp reminders of past disappointments, ordinary evenings turn into evenings of revelation and longing. The atmosphere blends discontent, wit, and a subtle tension that pushes characters to confront what they want and what they owe to others.

- A delicate romance unfolds between Katherine and Raine, shadowed by history and moral doubt.
- A group of women, each with her own quiet longing, navigates companionship, gossip, and unspoken loyalties.
- The setting shifts from summer gaiety to winter doldrums, highlighting how place shapes emotion and decisions.
- Secrets from the past surface, testing trust, duty, and the limits of generosity.

Ideal for readers who enjoy psychological romance set against a vivid, social-era backdrop, where mood and motive drive the story as much as plot.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
