Summary
A portrait of fashionable society at the height of the era, revealing, through the lives of its characters, all that was glamorous about the period -- and all that was to lead to its downfall. Sebastian and Viola are brother and sister. Handsome and moody, at nineteen Sebastian is a duke and heir to the vast country estate, Chevron. A deep sense of tradition and love of the English countryside bind him to his inheritance, though he loathes the glittering, cold, extravagant society of which he is a part. Sixteen-year-old Viola is more independent, an unfashionable beauty who scorns every part of her inheritance -- most particularly that of womanhood
