The story begins with young Lady Bell Etheredge as she navigates the complex and often harsh realities of her life after the death of her grand-aunt, Lady Lucie. Set against the backdrop of the aristocratic social scene of a past century, the narrative explores themes of identity, class, and the struggle for autonomy in a world dominated by rigid societal expectations. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Lady Bell at a drawing room event where her grand-aunt is instructing her on the intricacies of courtly life. Following Lady Lucie’s passing, Lady Bell faces an uncertain future, as she becomes reliant on her estranged relatives, Squire Godwin and his sister Mrs. Die, at their dilapidated estate, St. Bevis's. The opening chapters deftly establish the stark contrast between her once-glamorous upbringing and the grim reality of her new circumstances, highlighting Lady Bell's resilience as she grapples with her isolation, the disdain from her relatives, and her burgeoning independence, even as she contemplates an unwanted marriage to Squire Trevor, who presents yet another challenge to her sense of self.
