Synopsis

A vivid tale of family duty, romance, and long-buried memories in a Yorkshire village and beyond.

Beatrix Harefield faces a difficult choice between love, wealth, and family expectation. This edition follows a young woman caught between a stern father, a hopeful guardian, and two very different men, as past secrets begin to shape her future.

- A richly drawn cast of Victorian characters, from a thoughtful vicar to a proud, step‑laddering world of estate and influence.
- Scenes that shift between country parishes and bustling cities, revealing how money, status, and lineage steer hearts.
- A premise built on loyalty, love, and the power of memory, with clues about a mother’s history and a father’s restraint.
- Antecedent passions and rivalries that test trust, obedience, and the price of choosing wisely.

Ideal for readers of classic sensation fiction, character-driven drama, and stories where personal choices echo through generations.
