"Daughters of Belgravia" by Mrs. Alexander Fraser is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the intricacies of high society in London, following the glamorous yet tumultuous lives of the Beranger family and their societal ambitions, particularly those of Lady Beranger and her daughters. Central to the plot are the sisters Zaidie (Zai), Gabrielle, and Trixy, each navigating love and social expectations in a world where status and marriage prospects dominate. The opening of the novel introduces a lavish society ball hosted by Lady Beranger, showcasing the ornate decorations and bustling aristocratic guest lists. Lady Beranger is portrayed as a keenly ambitious matriarch obsessed with securing advantageous marriages for her daughters, while Zai's romantic entanglement with the penniless actor Carlton Conway sets the stage for conflict between desires and familial duty. As tensions rise regarding the sisters' relationships, particularly with the elegant Lord Delaval and glamorous societal expectations, the reader is drawn into a world of love, rivalry, and the relentless pursuit of status within the elite circles of Victorian England.
