Harriett Frean is a privileged, single woman caught in the grip of a life marked by dependency, tedium, and unfulfilled potential as she dutifully cares for her aging parents while awaiting the arrival of a suitor. When love finally presents itself, it comes with a moral quandary the man is engaged to her closest friend. Should she risk everything for what seems to be her one shot at happiness, or does she have the strength to choose a different path? Can Harriett find purpose and fulfillment on her own, without the societal expectations of marriage? May Sinclair, with her signature gentle irony, masterfully critiques the conventions of her time while exposing the stark realities faced by countless women who were offered so few opportunities to truly live.Copyright Fiction Classics 社会科学 科学
