A vicar’s stepdaughter escapes a stifling country parsonage to become a governess in London, where her latent gifts for acting ignite a consuming passion for the stage. When she marries a brilliant but dissolute young playwright, she discovers that love alone cannot shield her from betrayal—his drinking fuels his genius, while another woman exploits his weakness with calculated charm.
With extraordinary patience and unflinching clarity, she refuses to judge, scheme, or surrender. As her own career rises in the glittering world of the Edwardian theatre, she must decide how much a woman can give before giving becomes self-destruction—and whether the man she loves is capable of becoming worthy of her faith.
A searching portrait of marriage, artistic temperament, and the quiet heroism of an exceptional woman, this novel is among E. F. Benson’s most richly observed works of fiction.
