At just 15 years old, Eleanor Vane seems to have it all a luxurious education at a prestigious finishing school in Paris, her father’s unwavering affection, and a natural inclination for kindness. However, her life takes a tragic turn when her father unexpectedly passes away, leaving her vulnerable to the whims of her estranged half-siblings and the harsh judgment of society that views her as an orphaned beggar. Sent to serve as a ladys companion to an old friend of her late father, Eleanor faces the daunting challenge of carving out a respectable place for herself in a world that has turned its back on her. This captivating novel is also celebrated as one of the earliest Victorian stories featuring a female detective. - Summary by Stav NisserCopyright Family and Culture Sozialwissenschaften Welt
