A Formidable Fortune

Three women from different backgrounds play their part
in the moulding of Helen Calloway's character as she makes
the transition from life in a cottage, to fame in the world of
haute couture and a marriage which takes her across the sea....
The spinster for whom education is all; a Baroness, the
epitome of charm and gentility and an Indian Princess, who reflects
all that is best of her creed and culture.
Set in the Edwardian era with the country. Moving towards war,
Helen's changing fortunes reflect the shifting status of women,
until finally accepted as full members of society.
