Lucy is a well-mannered Edwardian lady who finds that true love has
no interest in playing by her rules. But how can she choose between
what she wants and what everyone around her expects her to want?
This gentle but sharp comedy has it all: surprise encounters,
jealousy and revenge, conventional fools and unconventional sages,
confrontation, loss, and eventual triumph.
""No, Mother, Lilia was really keen on going to Italy!" said
Philip, finding the situation full of whimsical romance. There was
something half attractive, half repellent in the thought of this
vulgar woman journeying to places he loved and revered. But why
should she not be transfigured by her journeys? The same had
happened to the Goths!"
When a man or woman is "neither well-bred, nor well-connected,
nor handsome, nor clever, nor rich," what chance does he or she
have for success, in turn-of-the-century England -- at least in
that portion of London society almost ridiculously proper and
well-behaved? The Philistines, the vulgar, the ones talented in
making absurd impressions when in public . . . could they do well
for themselves? Horrid thought!
The author of "A Passage to India," E.M. Forster published his
clever and incisive novel on English manners, "Where Angels Fear to
Tread," in 1905.
