By Charlotte M. Yonge
Length8h 37m
About this audiobook
A new generation of the Merrifield and Mohun families faces the radical social and intellectual shifts of the late Victorian era, finding that old solutions no longer fit modern problems. As young women seek higher education and independent careers, the family must adapt to developments that were once unlooked for. It is a fascinating bridge between traditional Victorian values and the dawning of the modern age.
