Book Description: You could be forgiven upon reading that title, not to mention auditing the opening scene, for thinking that this is a play of a simple country girl fallen among aristocratic Victorian-era swingers in the big city.
But this Country Mouse is anything but innocent. - Summary by Son of the Exiles
