A literary novel set in pre–World War I London, following Katharine Hilbery as her engagement, family expectations, and encounters with Ralph Denham and suffragette Mary Datchet challenge her ideas of love, class, freedom, and independence. With introspective irony and vivid social detail, it explores the tension between convention and authentic selfhood.
