wolfsonarchitect's review against another edition
3.0
This is a wonderfully engaging story and Ida Pallister is a fun heroine. She’s bright, intellectual, and musically talented. But she suffers from being duty bound and hiding her shame.
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.
