Mary is the elder of the two and is portrayed as responsible and level-headed, while Elinor is more impulsive and prone to making mistakes.As the girls grow up, they begin to develop their own personalities and interests, which often clash with the expectations of their godparents and the high society they are a part of. Mary falls in love with a young doctor who is not of their social class, while Elinor becomes involved with a wealthy man who is not what he seems.Throughout the novel, Mason explores the complexities of family relationships and the struggles of young women trying to find their place in a society that values wealth and status above all else.
