Leonora

by Arnold Bennett

Leonora Stanway is a middle-aged woman who is unhappy with her life. She feels trapped in her marriage to her unsympathetic husband, and her three daughters are growing up and away from her. She longs for something more, but she doesn't know what it is. When Arthur Twemlow, the son of John's former business partner, enters her life, she begins to question everything she thought she knew. Leonora must decide whether to stay in her comfortable but unfulfilling life or to take a risk and pursue her dreams.
