"The Official Chaperone" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is an exciting book about the adventures of a young girl who becomes an official escort at balls and parties of aristocrats. The heroine finds herself on the wave of cultural norms and traditions of the Victorian era, where every step is important, and dignity and etiquette are put first. The author skillfully conveys the atmosphere of the times when sophistication was an integral part of society, and an offensive word or a flaw in behavior could disrupt the best secular holiday. This book not only tells about observing the rules of the game in high society, but also shows how the main character learns to walk confidently along the difficult path of growing up and self-improvement.
