Sinopse

A late 19th Century sensation novel following the young life of Ida Palliser as she searches for fortune and love within Englands Gentry Class. Victorian sensation books were often set in ordinary, familiar setting, undermining the perceived adherence to social convention. They exposed the true lives of Victorian Englands upper class - lives they tried to keep hidden. (summary by James Dow)
