Description

Margaret Verity is a nineteen‑year‑old who feels the world is meant for wild nights and daring moves. Raised by the gentle Violet Verity in a comfortable English country house, she inherits her mother’s bright eyes and a subtle talent for caring, yet she rebels against every expectation of a proper young lady. The novel opens with Margaret’s endless chase of parties, cocktails, and midnight dances, painting her as a restless spirit in a time that still judges “modern girls” harshly. Her relentless energy and sharp wit make her both admired and condemned by the people around her.

Soon Margaret encounters a chance invitation that pulls her out of familiar drawing‑rooms and into a setting where the rules change. The promise of a new adventure hints at a shift that could reshape her restless drive, offering a glimpse of what lies beyond her familiar indulgences. Listeners will be drawn into her lively world and wonder how this bold young woman will navigate the unexpected paths that begin to unfold.
