'Golden Calf' Summary
Ida Palliser, a young woman of modest means, finds herself thrust into the glittering world of England's upper class. Driven by ambition and the allure of a better life, she embarks on a journey to secure both love and wealth. Her path leads her to the wealthy and enigmatic William Palliser, a man harboring secrets that could jeopardize their burgeoning relationship. Ida soon discovers that the world of the gentry is far more treacherous than she imagined. As she grapples with her own desires and the moral complexities of the society she now inhabits, she must confront the hidden truths and dark secrets that threaten to unravel the facade of perfection. Through Ida's journey, 'Golden Calf' offers a compelling critique of Victorian social conventions, exposing the hypocrisy and moral ambiguity that lurks beneath the surface of wealth and privilege.Book Details
