Synopsis

When a wealthy woman decides to help those less fortunate, she imagines gratitude and harmony. Instead, she discovers envy, selfishness, and the complexity of human nature. Elizabeth von Arnim blends comedy with sharp realism in this engaging social novel. The story asks whether generosity alone can solve deeper problems. Intelligent, humane, and often very funny, it rewards modern listeners. Its insights into status and expectation remain timeless. A brilliant classic satire.
