She meets a young man named Felix, who shares her views and together they embark on a journey to expose the corruption and greed of the wealthy elite.The novel is a scathing critique of the Victorian era's obsession with wealth and social status, and Corelli uses her characters to explore themes of morality, social responsibility, and the dangers of unchecked power.
