A world of drawing rooms and manners
The Williamsons wrote in the years before the First World War, when fiction about high society was widely read. Their books often show elegant settings, travel to fashionable places and characters who must watch what they say. Readers of this period met a world where reputation counted for a great deal.
In such a world, a secret could change a person's standing. Conversation, visits and small acts of kindness carried real weight. This is the background against which a story like this one is set.
If you read it, expect good manners on the surface and feelings underneath.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
