Overview

Después de casar a media docena de sobrinas con caballeros de gran fortuna, la señora Stanhope quiere asegurarle el mejor futuro a la última de ellas, Belinda, y nadie más adecuado para introducirla en la alta sociedad que su amiga lady Delacour, la mujer más frívola e influyente de todo Londres. De su mano, la joven se sumerge en un mundo deslumbrante, en el que brilla con luz propia el encantador Clarence Hervey, aunque las fiestas y los devaneos ocultan secretos y tragedias, y las amistades más deslumbrantes esconden intereses ocultos.

En medio de la agitada vida de finales del siglo XVIII, Belinda deberá escuchar a su mente y a su corazón, tomar decisiones arriesgadas y descubrir su propio camino. Una historia de amistad, de amor y de autodescubrimiento, de la mano de una de las autoras más admiradas por Jane Austen.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

In these two volumes published in 1801 and 1795, respectively, Edgeworth pokes fun at London upper crust. In addition to their humor, these volumes are noteworthy for their early feminist leanings. These Everyman editions include scholarly introductions, textual notes, and a chronology of the author's life. A big package for a small price.

From the Publisher

"A superbly edited text and an informative introduction."—Gregory Maertz, St. John's University

Narrator Lucy Scott brings to life the drawing rooms and social complexities of nineteenth-century English gentry in this audiobook classic, first published in 1801. Belinda Portman is the only unmarried niece of Mrs. Stanhope, a social climber who prides herself on making powerful matches for female family members--often above their stations. Now Belinda must navigate her own heart and mind while contending with the whims of her capricious benefactor, Lady Delacourt, and the ever-present danger of reputation-damaging gossip. Scott captures the witty conversations and ambiance of high-society London with her thoughtful character portrayals. Her narration keeps the humor and insights alive for contemporary listeners.
