A Woman’s Love

Before Helen is old enough to understand love, she knows whom she is meant to marry: the grown-ups have forgotten that little pitchers have wide ears.

In the family world of country visits, London holidays and carefully managed expectations, Helen’s future seems settled before she can choose it. Told by chance that she is destined for her cousin Seymour, she lets childhood affection grow into a serious passion. But when Seymour returns at seventeen, he greets her as his “little Helen” and turns his attention to the elegant women around them. Helen’s pride and hopes are tested by the gap between the love she has imagined and the regard he shows her. Can she make him see the woman she longs to become?
