With the death of her rector husband, Henrietta Fortesque finally finds herself free to follow her feelings for the handsome and wealthy Jerome Compton. But this freedom is tempered by the constraints imposed by Victorian values: as a divorcé, Jerome faces disapproval, and to many in her village, Henrietta will always be the rector’s wife. At least Henrietta does not have her family’s feelings to worry about — her brother Teddy is more concerned about saving Morland Place, the ancient, debt–ridden family seat. Another absorbing historical novel from Cynthia Harrod–Eagles, deftly told in rich and colorful detail.
