About this audiobook
A rigid, upper-class young woman journeys to the sun-drenched hills of Florence, where an unexpected and passionate encounter shakes the very foundations of her strictly ordered life. Returning to the stifling societal expectations of Edwardian England, she is torn between a conventional, passionless engagement and the wild, free-spirited truth of her own desires. The clash between propriety and authenticity drives a quiet but intense rebellion against the hypocrisy of her peers. A witty, luminous romance about finding the courage to live honestly and love fiercely.
