Description
When Beale and Ida Farange are divorced, their young daughter Maisie is left to shuttle between them, spending six months with each parent. This arrangement allows both parents to intensify their hatred of each other, while also using Maisie as a pawn in their personal lives.
Maisie's situation becomes increasingly complicated as her parents' relationships evolve. She is eventually taken under the care of Sir Claude and his new wife, Mrs Wix, but ultimately finds herself torn between them and her former governess, Mrs Wix. In the end, Maisie makes a decision that will have lasting consequences for all involved.
This novel, first published in 1897, is a thought-provoking exploration of family dynamics, love, and loyalty. With its complex characters and nuanced themes, it remains a compelling read to this day.
