About this book
Deviating from the long line of strong and stoic male protagonists who featured in his other novels, American author Winston Churchill turns his attention to the fairer sex in the charming novel A Modern Chronicle. Well-born mademoiselle Honora Leffingwell has kept afloat since her father's tragically premature death, but will she ever feel whole enough to give herself over to love?
