Synopsis

THE thing that I know least about is my beginning. For it is possible to introduce Ethel Rawdon in so many picturesque ways that the choice is embarrassing, and forces me to the conclusion that the actual circumstances, though common-place, may be the most suitable. Certainly the events that shape our lives are seldom ushered in with pomp or ceremony; they steal upon us unannounced, and begin their work without giving any premonition of their importance. Consequently Ethel had no idea when she returned home one night from a rather stupid entertainment that she was about to open a new and important chapter of her life. Hitherto that life had been one of the sweetest and simplest character-the lessons and sports of childhood and girlhood had claimed her nineteen years; and Ethel was just at that wonderful age when, the brook and the river having met, she was feeling the first swell of those irresistible tides which would carry her day by day to the haven of all days.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

What if you were a society girl, courted by dozens but in love with a man you had had met only once – a man whose face haunted your memory? Ethel Rawdon, young, fresh, headstrong and living in New York City, is in such a quandary. What's more, Ethel returns from the opera one evening to find a letter that will change her life. Ethel is summoned immediately to friend Dora Denning's suite, a private arrangement of five rooms overlooking the park. Dora delivers her news in a rush – the handsome and clever Basil Stanhope has declared his love. Dora is enthralled but her family less so, fearing Mr Stanhope's love may be for Dora's inheritance. Before Ethel can get her bearings, however, her life collides with Frederick Mostyn, an Englishman with a boyish delight in his new life in New York City.
