Egerton, Beatrice
Lippa
Produced by Susan Skinner
"Lippa" by Beatrice Egerton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Philippa Seaton, a young woman recently returned from Switzerland, who is navigating the complexities of London society and romance. As she interacts with various characters, including the charming Jimmy Dalrymple and the intriguing Paul Ponsonby, we glimpse her struggles with love, identity, and the shadows of her familial past. The opening of the novel introduces us to a quiet afternoon in London, where Philippa is reluctantly attending a social gathering with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Seaton. Amidst the party, she feels out of place and disconnected from the excitement around her. Her initial interactions highlight her feelings of loneliness and the pressure of expectations that accompany her debut into society. We learn about her family dynamics and the various suitors vying for her attention, particularly Jimmy Dalrymple, who is smitten with her. As the narrative unfolds, we gain insight into Philippa's character, her dreams, and the societal constraints she faces, setting the stage for a tale rich in romance and emotional depth.
