"The Wanderer; or, Female Difficulties (Volume 5 of 5)" by Fanny Burney is a story about Juliet as she goes through a dangerous quest while facing social problems, personal battles, mystery, and unfairness involving who she is and the people around her. During a complicated time in history, Juliet is a woman who has to deal with what society expects, as well as questions about being a woman and what is right and wrong. The story takes a dark turn when she is staying with a kind family, but is also haunted by something she saw in the New Forest that is related to illegal acts. Conversations with the family's leader show an atmosphere of dread and immorality, made worse by her husband and a neighborhood smuggler’s shady behavior. Torn between her concerns of being morally sound and frightened, Juliet's sympathy drives her to participate, even as she is burdened by her own situation and the need to escape impending threats, which creates an environment where she will have some hard times.
