Debutantes by Charlotte Bingham
A century ago, marriage, and marriage alone, offered a nicely brought-up girl escape from the domination of her parents. That path led her to a Season in London and, the ultimate goal, Coming Out as a debutante. This book presents a saga which centres around a single London Season in the 1890s.
