Debutantes, Charlotte Bingham's delightful and stylish new saga, centers around a single London season in the 1890s. But it is not just about the debutantes themselves--it is as much about the women who launch them, and the society that supports their way of life. It is also about the battle for power, privilege, and money, fought not in the male tradition upon the battlefield, but in the female tradition--in the ballroom.
