ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"It Happened One Autumn" by Lisa Kleypas follows the story of Lillian Bowman, an independent American heiress, as she navigates the complexities of London society. Lillian clashes with the arrogant Earl of Westcliff, their relationship marked by both animosity and undeniable attraction. External forces, such as family expectations and social standing, further complicate their interactions. As Lillian grapples with societal constraints and her growing feelings for Westcliff, she must confront personal vulnerabilities and challenge the rigid norms of Victorian England. The novel explores themes of reputation, family dynamics, and the struggle for personal agency within a patriarchal society.
