| Summary |
"Manners: A Novel, Vol 2" by Madame Panache is a fictional novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around the character Selina Seymour, who navigates the complicated social circles of London, influenced by her aunt, Lady Eltondale, and the various suitors vying for her attention. The novel grapples with themes of propriety, the superficiality of high society, and the tension between genuine emotion and societal expectations. At the start of the novel, Selina is grappling with the emotional aftermath of her beloved aunt Mrs. Galton's departure, feeling a mix of sorrow and anxiety as she prepares to enter the fashionable world under Lady Eltondale's guidance. Lady Eltondale's influence is both seductive and manipulative, seeking to shape Selina's identity for her own social ambitions, while Selina remains blissfully unaware of the deeper strategies at play around her. As she encounters characters like Augustus Mordaunt and Lord Osselstone, tension builds around her burgeoning feelings and the social dynamics that threaten to complicate her life, setting the stage for conflict between her heart and the expectations of the world around her.
