Summary

Jean Muir, a cunning and ambitious governess, infiltrates the wealthy Coventry household under a veil of innocence. With calculated charm and deceit, she manipulates each family member to achieve her ambitions, exposing their secrets and vulnerabilities. Alcott crafts a gripping tale of social climbing, betrayal, and revenge, challenging societal expectations of femininity and morality. Beneath its suspenseful surface lies a sharp critique of class dynamics and gender roles. Darker and more subversive than her traditional works, this novella reveals Alcott’s mastery of psychological drama and biting social commentary.
