A Daughter of Today by Sara Jeannette Duncan audiobook. Genre: drama In late-Victorian London and Paris, Elfrida Bell is determined to become more than a well-bred ornament. Brilliant, restless, and fiercely self-aware, she styles herself a modern woman of letters and art, chasing recognition in magazines, salons, and studios while measuring herself against the people who seem effortlessly at home in the world she wants to conquer. As Elfrida forms intense friendships and rivalries with writers, artists, and patrons, she learns that ambition comes with a cost: money is scarce, reputations are fragile, and the line between sincerity and performance can blur in the very circles that promise freedom. Sara Jeannette Duncan follows Elfrida through cramped rooms, glittering parties, and hard-won professional opportunities, capturing the hunger to create, the sting of criticism, and the complicated negotiations of love, independence, and belonging. Sharp, observant, and emotionally incisive, A Daughter of Today is a portrait of a young woman testing the limits of her talent and her era, as she tries to decide what success should look like - and what she is willing to sacrifice to claim it.
