The Truth Seekers
Elizabeth Lawrence
Summary:
At
the turn of the century, the Victorian upper classes live in a vibrant but
strictly-ordered world that encourages gentle, intellectual pursuits. Theirs is
a life of ease and elegance, but it can be snatched away from them in an
instant if the rules of polite society are not followed. Gothic novelist
Geoffrey Hawes has never been willing to let such restrictions hold him back,
and he refuses to honor conventions for which there is no discernible value.
When he spends a social season in a community created to celebrate the Arts,
music, and philosophy, he is unexpectedly befriended by the daughter of the
Governor, Miranda Claridge.
Bitter
and disenchanted with the privileged and wealthy, Geoffrey finds his beliefs
repeatedly challenged by the intelligent and vivacious Miranda. In the midst of
their heated debates on the mores of the upper class, this unlikely friendship
blossoms into a passionate love. He encourages her to pursue her interest in
painting and gives her a new understanding of what relationships between men
and women should be. Meanwhile, Miranda begins to open his eyes to all that is
wonderful and beautiful and good in the world.
Geoffrey
at last accepts that he has fallen in love with Miranda, but misunderstandings
and lies come between them. Knowing that Miranda believes it is her duty to
marry, he prepares himself to hear news of her wedding. Geoffrey attempts to
escape the pain of her perceived rejection by traveling and throwing himself
into his work. However, he cannot run forever. One day, he encounters Miranda
again and soon discovers that she is not the same woman he left behind. Can the
couple realize that they each must relinquish some of their prejudices and
preconceived notions before it is too late? Can love really conquer all?
