内容简介
Book Description
Continuing the history of the Morland family, this episode introduces a period of peace and reconciliation for the scattered Morlands. Henrietta is at last able to marry Jerome, but must settle away from Yorkshire. She also contacts her cousin, Lady Venetia, now a qualified doctor.
Freed from her miserable marriage by widowhood, Henrietta is at last able to marry her beloved Jerome Compton, but his divorced state means that they have to make their home away from Yorkshire. Settling in London Henrietta finds she takes to urban life with great enjoyment, as does her daughter Lizzie. Soon their home is full of visitors from the best of the city's artistic and scientific circles, and she also makes contact with her cousin Lady Venetia - now a qualified doctor and married at long last to 'Beauty' Haselmere. Venetia's marriage has redeemed her reputation and they find themselves guests at Sandringham and Hatfield. Healthy children are born to both women and it seems as though the comfortable tenor of their lives will never be disturbed again, but clouds are gathering on the horizon and when the deluge comes one of them is forced out of society. Yet it proves more of a homecoming than an exile. Another absorbing piece of English history, deftly told with a rich and colourful background.
From the Publisher
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.
