Synopsis
This book is an intriguing exploration of the lives of Margaret Chamberlain and her cousin Jocelyn Carew, narrated by Margaret. Raised by Miss Ruxton, the daughter of a Manchester heiress, Margaret is invited by the estranged grandfather she has never met, Mr. Anstruther, to his stately manor home, Smerdon House, upon the death of her mother. There, she is expected to assume the role of unpaid housekeeper and effectively wait upon him and her cousin, who usurped her place in her grandfather's affection. The author's keen eye for detail and talent for wry observation enlivens the pages of this book as the story deftly explores themes of family, duty, identity, and the consequences of unspoken words and unearned privilege. The book offers a fascinating perspective on the rigid social hierarchy and gender roles of the era, as seen through the eyes of its young and independent heroine.
