Lippa

A young woman recently returned from Switzerland is presented to London society and undergoes a season of introductions, theatre visits, balls, and house parties. She attracts attention from several acquaintances while forming bonds with her hostess family and observing domestic scenes and the mischief of a lively child. One suitor struggles with memories of a former passion even as he is drawn into new company, and social wagers and rivalries complicate interactions. The narrative traces manners and courtship rituals, mixing light comedy of social life with quieter moments of longing and self-discovery.
