Milly Darrell is a Victorian novel of youth, vulnerability, and moral trial. Sent from home to study at a Yorkshire school, gentle Milly faces loneliness and the loss of familiar comfort as she begins a new life of discipline and expectation. Forming close friendships, she is gradually drawn into emotional conflicts and family secrets that test her innocence. Braddon explores the precarious position of young women, the pain of growing independence, and the quiet resilience needed to face betrayal and hardship.
