Sinopse
In a London caught between the rigidity of the Victorian era and the new freedoms of the 20th century, two young people struggle to define love on their own terms. The novel centers on the daughter of a literary family who secretly prefers mathematics to poetry, and her courtship with an intellectual lawyer. It offers a comedic yet thoughtful critique of the traditional engagement plot, examining whether marriage is compatible with personal independence. The narrative is a polished comedy of manners that questions the weight of inheritance and expectation.
