In the waning days of a once‑grand English estate, the younger members of the Beauvais family scramble to keep their ancestral home afloat. When a letter arrives promising a marriage to a wealthy American heiress, sister Gwen and cousin Evelyn are torn between hope and the sharp sting of class prejudice. Their conversations, laced with sarcasm and reluctant admiration, set the stage for an uneasy alliance that could restore fortunes—or shatter pride.
As the Earl’s emissary prepares to cross the Atlantic, the novel teases the inevitable clash of British aristocratic etiquette with the brash confidence of early‑20th‑century America. Humor bubbles from misunderstandings over “style” and “money,” while the looming wedding injects both tension and anticipation. Listeners will be drawn into a world of lavish gardens, whispered conspiracies, and the restless desire to rewrite destiny, all before the first transatlantic journey even begins.
