""A Debutante In New York Society: Her Illusions And What Became Of Them"" is a novel written by Rachel Buchanan and published in 1888. The book follows the story of a young woman named Lucy, who is introduced to New York high society during her debutante season. Lucy is initially enamored with the glamour and excitement of the social scene, but soon discovers the darker side of the wealthy elite. She witnesses the cruelty, greed, and hypocrisy that lie beneath the surface of their polished exteriors. As Lucy navigates the treacherous waters of New York society, she must confront her own illusions and learn to see the world with clear eyes. The novel offers a scathing critique of the excesses and superficiality of the Gilded Age, while also exploring themes of identity, morality, and social class.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
