'Our Own Set' Summary
Set in the opulent world of Austrian aristocracy in Rome, "Our Own Set" follows the story of Zinka Sterzl, a young woman who challenges the rigid social structures of her time. Zinka, despite not being born into the privileged circle, is brought into their world by her brother Cecil. Her genuine and unaffected demeanor quickly wins the hearts of many, including the charismatic Count Sempaly, igniting envy and hostility among those who see their established social hierarchy threatened. The novel delves into the complexities of love, class, and social expectations, revealing the anxieties and prejudices simmering beneath the surface of a seemingly polished society. As Zinka navigates the intricate web of relationships and social maneuvering, the reader witnesses the clash between tradition and change, ultimately questioning the true meaning of acceptance and belonging.Book Details
