Concerning Isabel Carnaby

Concerning Isabel Carnaby

by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler

Isabel Carnaby, an orphan returning from India, finds herself navigating the complex and often superficial world of upper-class British society. Despite initial skepticism and prejudices she faces due to her lack of family connections, Isabel possesses a charm, intelligence, and strength of character that surprise those who underestimate her. The novel explores themes of societal expectations, class distinctions, personal ambition, and the complexities of love and marriage within a richly drawn social landscape.
