- Summary:
- "Sonie Marburg gazes across the bay at Boston's gleaming State House and dreams of escaping form her childhood home, a cobbler's shack echoing with the recriminations of her beautiful Russian mother. All her hopes seem to come true when a summer visitor, Miss Pride, whisks her off to the shadowy libraries and gilded salons of Beacon Hill. But Sonie finds that she is doomed to remain forever an outsider, hovering on the fringes of a privileged world"-- Provided by publisher.
