Set in London, the novel delves into the tension between personal desires and family obligations.

At the heart of the story is Kitty Killigrew, a young woman caught between her father's expectations of marriage and her own desires for freedom, as well as Crawford, her husband, who must navigate the chaos surrounding them. The novel also examines the idea of mistaken identity and the unintended consequences of chance encounters.

Autor

American novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter Harold MacGrath was a bestselling and prolific author. He occasionally finished more than one mass-market novel per year, with themes including romance, spies, mystery, and adventure. He was the first nationally renowned author hired to produce original screenplays for the fledgling motion picture industry.
