Dodo: A Detail of the Day. Volumes 1 and 2

"Dodo: A Detail of the Day" by E. F. Benson is a story about a spirited young woman named Dodo who learns about love, marriage, and the expectations of society in late 19th-century London. Dodo's engagement to Lord Chesterford kicks off the story as her friends, particularly a former suitor named Jack Broxton, react with surprise and concern. The book looks closely at how Dodo's personality clashes with traditional ideas about women and marriage, raising questions about what makes people happy. Through clever conversations and interactions between characters, the author explores how easily people can misunderstand love and the different paths people take to find happiness. This novel looks at the relationship between who Dodo is and what people expect her to be.
