This sprawling saga chronicles the tumultuous life and times of an indomitable, passionate, and imperfect heroine. Set against the rougher, tougher backdrop of Regency-era Welsh country life, where status must be hard-won, the series follows her struggles for survival, her unearthing of mysteries, and her navigation of local gentry intrigues. Told through diary entries, this collection offers a compelling and immersive look into the experiences of an extraordinary woman in a challenging world.
In 1796, impetuous Martha Morgan becomes the mistress of an estate, at only eighteen years old. Though she loves her husband dearly, she is lonely in a strange house, and her quick wit and cutting humour make her as many enemies as friends.
