White is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young woman named Jessie Harcourt, who finds herself ensnared in a web of royal intrigue after an unexpected dismissal from her job leads her to a mysterious invitation that promises adventure and considerable money. Confronted with both challenges to her pride and dangerous liaisons, Jessie steps into a role that intertwines her fate with that of royalty, paving the way for dramatic developments. At the start of the novel, we meet Jessie, who is fiercely defending herself against accusations of misconduct involving Prince Boris, the son of a Russian princess. Dismissed from a millinery shop, she receives an enigmatic letter requesting her assistance, allegedly tied to a woman in distress, and promises financial reward. Her curiosity piqued and desperation mounting, Jessie decides to attend the meeting, leading her to a high-stakes scenario that involves switching identities with the Duchess Vera Galloway just as she becomes enmeshed in the lives of royals and the political machinations surrounding the throne of Asturia, revealing interwoven narratives of danger, deception, and the potential for romance.
