Viviette

Viviette

by William John Locke

Viviette is a beautiful and headstrong young woman who is torn between two very different men: Austin, a charming and ambitious barrister, and Dick, her quiet and devoted cousin. Austin represents the excitement and passion of the world beyond their small town, while Dick offers her the security and comfort of home. As Viviette tries to navigate her feelings for both men, she must also confront the social conventions that threaten to keep her from true happiness.
