Book Description
"Excerpt: ...women never get nearer to love than that, in all their lives, and are quite satisfied, and as they grow older they realize how much more convenient it is to be adored than to adore, and are careful to keep their likings within very manageable limits, while encouraging the men who love them to behave like lunatics. Sabina was not of that kind; she was only very young, which, as Pitt pointed out, is a disadvantage but not a real crime."--Bookseller's website.
