Book summary

Rachel Vinrace, motherless and virginal, takes an ocean voyage with her aunt and uncle to the South American coast, during which she questions the roles and education of young women.

Media reviews

"This English novel gives promise in its opening chapters of much entertaiment. Later, the reader is disappointed. That the author knows her London in its most interesting aspects there can be no doubt. But aside from a certain cleverness--which, being all in one key, palls on one after going through a hundred pages of it--there is little in this offering to make it stand out from the ruck of mediocre novels which make far less literary pretension."
