About this audiobook
Armed with unshakable self-confidence and a ruthless instinct for social engineering, a brilliant young woman returns home to revolutionize her provincial town. She masterfully manipulates everyone around her, orchestrating dinners, marriages, and careers with devastating precision and oblivious cheerfulness. While she manages the lives of others, her own romantic fate remains surprisingly elusive. The sharp, satirical edge cuts through the pretenses of Victorian society with laugh-out-loud brilliance. This is a comedic masterpiece featuring one of literature's most delightfully dominant anti-heroines.
