Due to her lavish upbringing, Caroline is woefully unprepared for life outside of her wealthy estate. Conversely, the Lushington children have the benefit of a progressive education that emphasizes morality. The author does a masterful job of weaving a narrative that showcases the strengths and pitfalls of each approach.
