Lippa

"Lippa" by Beatrice Egerton is a late 19th-century novel that follows Philippa Seaton, a youthful lady recently returned from Switzerland, as she learns about London society and love. When she spends time with people like Jimmy Dalrymple and Paul Ponsonby, we see her fight with love and who she is, while dealing with problems from her family's history\. The story starts on a silent day in London as Philippa goes to a social event with Mrs. Seaton to meet her sister-in-law. Philippa feels alone and not a part of things. How she acts at first shows how sad she is and how she feels forced to deal with social expectations. We understand her family connections and the many individuals that want her attention, especially Jimmy Dalrymple, who likes her. As the story goes on, we learn about Philippa's character, what she wants and the social rules she must follow, preparing for a story full of love and strong emotions.
