It’s 1925 and Robin is again free to pursue his own interests after time spent under the close supervision on his family’s estate. Curious about some new acquaintances, he observes them meeting two women in a tea shop -- and completely ignoring one of the women, as if they can’t see her.
Beatrice suffers from a family curse that means she is invisible to those outside of her large banking family and spends most of her time handling vault records. But her curse makes her a useful chaperone when her cousin acquires a persuasive new suitor.
This is delightful. I really enjoyed the way Beatrice and Robin’s stories fit together -- not just the way they cross paths, but the way they understand and complement each other thematically. They both have family secrets. Beatrice is a valued part of a loving family but is not used to being literally seen by others. Robin is visible, but not used to being understood -- his family don’t get his artistic ambitions, and those in the art world don’t know the truth about who he is, who his family is.
