Williamson is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story begins amidst the complexities of romantic relationships layered with social ambition, as Lisa Drummond navigates her feelings for the charming Ivor Dundas, who harbors affections for her beautiful stepsister, Diana. The plot is set in an upper-class milieu, hinting at themes of love, jealousy, and societal expectation. At the start of the novel, Lisa Drummond is filled with uncertainty and hope as she believes Ivor might genuinely care for her. However, as their conversation unfolds, it becomes painfully clear that he is in love with Diana. This revelation leads Lisa into a spiral of emotions, revealing her sense of inadequacy against her sister's beauty and societal status. The opening also introduces a subplot involving political intrigue, where Ivor is inadvertently entangled in a mission concerning the enigmatic Maxine de Renzie, a celebrated actress with a secret life that intersects dangerously with both politics and romance.
