beledit's review against another edition
4.0
Ida Palliser is an impoverished young woman whose feckless father has dumped her in a boarding school and left her to fend for herself. The story involves a secret marriage, Ida's efforts to find a position in life, and the tribulations she endures before finding true love.
It's a typical Braddon romance, where the themes of marriage, and women's dependence and subjection to men are central.
