However, as she becomes more involved in Nina's life, Mary begins to see the dark side of wealth and power, and she must decide whether to stay in Nina's world or return to her own humble roots.The novel explores themes of class, social mobility, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as the consequences of greed and excess.
