About this audiobook
Under the watchful eyes of high society, private desires are crushed by the necessity of advantageous marital alliances. The narrative pulls back the curtain on the strategic negotiations and hidden heartbreaks that define "proper" unions. This incisive study of social mechanics shows how the heart is often sacrificed for the sake of the family name.
