About this listen

 In the first volume of this compelling trilogy, Mona Caird, a British writer and feminist, delves into the complexities of marriage and societal expectations through the story of Viola Sedley. Viola finds herself caught in a web of admiration from two very different suitors the wealthy and charming Philip Dendraith and the noble-hearted Harry Lancaster, who shares her modest roots. With her family facing dire financial troubles, a marriage to Philip could provide security. Yet, Violas growing aversion to him—intensified by his cruelty towards animals—clashes with her sense of duty. As Harry warns her about Philip’s true nature, Viola must navigate her conflicting emotions and make a heart-wrenching choice. (Summary by Scarbo)
