Description

His Darling Sin is a Victorian novel of scandal, desire, and social judgment. Lady Perivale, a wealthy widow, returns to London to find herself shunned by society, undone by rumors of an improper attachment to Colonel Rannock. Beneath glittering façades, loneliness and regret take hold as gossip tightens its grip. Braddon explores the cruelty of public opinion, the hunger for genuine affection, and the moral cost of a love deemed unforgivable.
