Omschrijving

Daisy Thornton follows a young girl whose life is transformed by a hasty marriage to an older man, forcing her to navigate the complexities of love, duty, and personal growth. Entering marriage with youthful naivety, she struggles to reconcile her own desires with the expectations placed upon her. The stark contrast between her carefree spirit and her husband's reserved nature creates tension, as both grapple with the realities of their mismatched union. Through reflections and observations from those around them, the emotional distance between them becomes evident, highlighting the difficulties of adapting to roles imposed by societal norms. As she longs for a life unburdened by responsibility, her husband's attempts to shape her into his ideal partner expose deeper questions of control and self-determination. The novel examines the challenges of marital expectations, the impact of personal choices, and the search for identity in an environment that values conformity over individuality. Through personal trials and shifting relationships, she must ultimately decide whether to accept the life carved out for her or forge her own path.
