About this audiobook

Marian Arundel is caught in a tug-of-war between a frivolous, fashion-obsessed household and her own stern moral compass. Her refusal to compromise her principles makes her an outcast in her own social circle, leading to isolation and doubt. The narrative champions the quiet strength of character over the dazzling allure of superficiality. It is a disciplined study of a young woman standing firm against the tide of peer pressure.
