The story centers around the life of Ambrosine, a young woman with noble lineage, living a tumultuous existence with her grandmother following their relocation from Paris to England after a financial mishap involving her father. Ambrosine grapples with the confines of her social standing and her place in society, and she becomes the subject of a significant marriage arrangement that challenges her ideals and aspirations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Ambrosine's world through her reflections on her aristocratic heritage and the life she shares with her elderly grandmother, who is embedding strict societal norms into her upbringing. Ambrosine's life becomes even more complicated as they navigate their diminished means while seeking to maintain their genteel mannerisms. The opening chapters delve into Ambrosine’s strong sense of identity and her longing for love and companionship as she faces an impending marriage to Augustus Gurrage, a common man of questionable character. Through her interactions with her grandmother, reflections on her past, and encounters with guests like the enigmatic Marquis de Rochermont and the charming Sir Antony Thornhirst, we begin to see the burdens and responsibilities Ambrosine carries as she contemplates her future amidst societal expectations and personal desires.
