Character Analysis

Sally Seton

Sally Seton is a childhood friend of Clarissa’s. She is in her fifties and is now married with five children. Like Clarissa, Sally has changed significantly since her time at Bourton. She used to be extremely daring, inquisitive, and rebellious, but has transformed into a more conventional person. Her identity has been moulded and now more closely aligns with the traditions of the upper class. Sally and Clarissa had an intimate relationship at Bourton but are now both married and distant from each other. Sally arrives unexpectedly at Clarissa’s party where she catches up with Peter and is excited by seeing Clarissa again.
