Set in 1888, this novel is about a couple who love each other, but his political ambitions demand money and she is poor. It about the cruelty of the marriage market if it were not imbued with feminist polemic who was sharply critical of the empty lives led by women with nothing to do all day except gossip, play cards and go shopping.
