'Literature for me was a magnificent destiny for which I was not yet fully
prepared.'
Paul and Henrietta Manning and their solitary, academic daughter Jane have
nothing in common with Dolly, widow of Henrietta's brother. Corseted and
painted, Dolly is a frivolous, superficial woman, who has little time for those
without that inestimable quality - charm.
Jane, in particular, falls into this category, especially after the death of her
parents. But Jane has money - and a conscience - and these bind her to Dolly.
Through disagreements, disappointments and disapprovals, Jane and Dolly are
enmeshed in an uneasy alliance in which history and family create closer ties
than friendship ever could.
