Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. The narrator, Kate O'Brien, navigates cruel realities of 19th-century life for a woman of her class and time. Forced to manage her reckless and charming spendthrift father and their dwindling finances, Kate chafes against the life expected of her within the rigid societal constraints for young ladies. The author delves into the difficulties and disappointments women like Kate faced, and the resilience they needed to survive. Despite the duty and care she provides, Kate's dreams of a different, fulfilling life remain just out of reach. Society's expectations, financial ruin, and familial obligation conspire to keep her trapped in an existence devoid of choice and personal fulfillment.
