About this audiobook
A naive and unworldly young girl is thrust from her secluded Italian upbringing into the sprawling, judgmental embrace of her English aristocratic relatives. Completely unequipped for the venomous gossip and hidden agendas of high society, her pure nature becomes both a beacon and a target. As she blunders through complex social hierarchies, her innocence triggers a chain of events that exposes the hypocrisy of those around her. Follow a poignant journey of survival as a fragile soul confronts the harsh realities of a sophisticated and cynical world.
