About this audiobook
The sleepy, rigid society of Slowbridge is turned upside down by the arrival of a glittering American heiress. Octavia’s bold fashion and frank speech terrify the local matrons while captivating their sons. Tradition clashes with modernity in a delightful skirmish of tea parties and social mores. This story champions the fresh air of authenticity against the stifling dust of convention.
