Résumé / Abstract : "This book was an immediate contemporary success and established Amelia Edwards's reputation as a novelist. The story of a young woman's growth from chidlhood to maturity is traced through her relationship with Hugh Farquhar whom she idolises from the first moment when, still a child, she meets him, already a mature man of the world. The development of their love for each other makes challenging and even painful demands upon them both before it reaches final fruition. This story of a spirited and talented heroine is set against the background of life in France and Germany and Italy and is rich in narrative and character."
