Katherine Bush, a clever shorthand typist in a Holles Street moneylender’s office, has spent three years watching the young aristocrats who come to borrow. Determined to rise out of her suburban family, she studies manners, books and people with cold intelligence, takes a post with a grand lady, and sets about remaking herself for the world above her.
A frank, ambitious heroine from Elinor Glyn, with the class and racial prejudices of 1916 in plain view. Download the free EPUB.
