| Summary |
Ada Pryce is trapped. A university-educated woman with feminist ideals, she has come to find herself living the kind of life she never wanted. Married to an oppressive brute and trying to fit in among the elite of late 19th-century Boston society, Ada is caught in an increasingly impossible battle against her own true nature. Ultimately losing in her struggle, Ada runs off and joins the orchid hunters her husband relies upon to populate his rare flower collection. But Ada finds more than just the adventure and freedom she so craved in the jungles of Brazil-danger, illness, and deception follow close behind. |
