1887 – the fiftieth anniversary of Queen Victoria’s reign – is a year of celebration. For this story’s heroine, Nancy Lord, it is also an opportunity to experience adult society. Her unchaperoned journey through the streets of London marks the beginning of her revolt, setting in motion the wheels of this end-of-the-nineteenth-century novel, which deals with the thorny issue of female emancipation.
