Theo: A Sprightly Love Story

"Theo: A Sprightly Love Story" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a tale of youthful longing set against the backdrop of a late 19th-century coastal town. The story centers on Theodora North, a spirited young woman confined by her family's modest circumstances and dreaming of a more exciting life. Her world is turned upside down by an invitation to London from the elegant Lady Throckmorton, which sparks a whirlwind of hope and the chance for romance. The challenges of her daily life combined with family dynamics, and particularly the complicated relationship with her sister Pamela, quickly lead to a poignant exploration of duty, desire, and the sacrifices made in the name of love.
