Humbug

This is another delightful novel by the author of the Provincial Lady series.

In this novel, the heroine, Lily, is raised from childhood to doubt herself.

Her upper-class parents do not allow self-expression, calling a sin everything she thinks, challenges, or imagines. She is loved and ignored at the same time. Through the novel, her vivid, sensitive, independent character must be molded and conform at all costs.
