The Path of a Star

"The Path of a Star" by Sara Jeannette Duncan is a witty and thoughtful romance that takes readers to the late Victorian era when British settlers were going to Calcutta in droves in search of new opportunities. Hilda Howe is an actress who has everything she could think she needs until she meets a Catholic priest. Her friend Alecia, on the other hand, is in love with a man who is, in turn, in love with someone else.
