About this book

Princess by M. G. arrives as a lively late-19th-century romance that sends Northern sensibilities south and ignites family conflict, wit, and quiet passion. When General Percival Smith uproots his household to a Virginia farm, daughters Norma and Blanche recoil at the prospect of country life—imagining cows, corn bread, and endless tedium—but the move becomes a stage for sharper observations about class, gender, and identity. Blending social satire with warm domestic drama, this work of fiction and literature captures the clash between urban refinement and rural custom in post‑Civil War America. M. G. sketches memorable characters whose comedic protests mask deeper struggles: adapting to change, defending pride, and discovering unexpected loyalties and affections. The novel’s tone moves from spirited indignation to reflective moments of growth, all delivered through precise period detail and lively dialogue that illuminates social manners and romance without resorting to melodrama. Ideal for listeners who enjoy classic romance, historical fiction, and novels of manners, Princess offers a thoughtful, entertaining portrait of a family in transition. Tune in for sharp humor, genteel intrigue, and a quietly persuasive exploration of love, belonging, and the costs of change.
