Summary: "The Second Fiddle" by Phyllis Bottome is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is centered around the character Stella Waring, who navigates her role as a secretary in a bustling London office, balancing her personal ambitions with the demands of her family life. The backdrop of the narrative is set against the rising tensions of war and the dramatic cultural life in London, particularly through the character's experiences of art and familial relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Stella, an intelligent and capable woman who works diligently for Mr. Leslie Travers at the town hall.
