Leaving the secluded home of her guardian for the first time, beautiful Evelina Anville is captivated bu her new surroundings on London's beau monde - and in particular by the handsome, chivalrous Lord Orville. But her enjoyment soon turnd to mortification at the behaviour of her vulgar and capricious grandmother, and by the rakish Sir Clement Willoughby, who torments the naive young woman with his unwanted advances. And while her aristocratic father refuses to acknowledge her legitimacy, Evelina can hold no hope of happiness with the man she loves.
