"The Pretty Lady" by Arnold Bennett is a story that drops you into the life of Christine, a young and pretty woman working as a courtesan in London during what seems like World War I. It's all about how she tries to figure out who she is and deal with what people expect of her, especially compared to what she actually feels inside. The story kicks off with Christine feeling out of place at a show in London, like she doesn't quite fit in with the serious mood of the English men around her. But when a man starts talking to her in French it seems like maybe she can find her way in this new world, and the book hints that she's ready to cause a stir as she gets comfortable in London and starts thinking about what she wants.
