Set in fin-de-si cle France, the novel follows Diane de Beaulieu, the daughter of a once-aristocratic family whose fortunes are in decline. As France moves through rapid social and economic change, Diane feels the pressure to marry-but must reconcile her personal pride with her need for security. The book explores the tension between the fading traditional aristocracy and the rising commercial middle class, as Diane navigates her relationships, ambitions, and identity in a society at a crossroads. At the Sign of the Silver Crescent is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1898.
