A sophisticated, modern young woman is sent from her bustling London life to stay with her provincial, dissenting grandparents. She must navigate a minefield of religious hypocrisy, social climbing, and small-town politics with her razor-sharp wit and unshakeable poise. When a local scandal threatens to engulf her family, she takes matters into her own capable hands, outmaneuvering the most formidable local figures. Her practical approach to love and money challenges every Victorian cliché of the passive heroine. It is a sparkling, shrewd social comedy that remains refreshingly relevant.
