Summary "His Official Fiancée" by Berta Ruck is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Monica Trant, a typist caught in a precarious position in London, as she navigates the complexities of an unusual proposition from her employer, Mr. Waters. Set against a backdrop of early 20th-century societal expectations and gender roles, the narrative explores themes of independence, financial necessity, and the art of pretense. The opening of the book introduces Monica, who is called to the office of her boss, Mr. Waters, after fear of being fired looms over her. Instead of dismissal, she is surprised to find that he proposes an unconventional arrangement wherein she would pose as his fiancée for a year in exchange for financial support. This unexpected proposal stems from a need for appearances rather than genuine affection, leading Monica to grapple with the implications of portraying a romantic relationship that she never sought. As she responds to his shocking offer, the reader is drawn into a world that contrasts her mundane office life with the complexities of personal identities and societal roles.
