This Victorian comedy of manners combines charming rural scenes with gripping melodrama and social commentary, making it a delightful read for fans of the era. Elizabeth Amy Dillwyn, a pioneering female industrialist and novelist, brings her unique perspective to the story, which is now available in a new edition featuring a biography of the author.
