Synopsis
'The Year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, 1897, was to dawn disastrously for Catherine and Isabella brought up in luxury, they were suddenly swept into a catastrophe and thrown out upon a world that did not hesitate to show it's unkind side to those unwise enough to run into misfortune.It did not take long for Isabella, fair, pretty and appealing, to fall on her feet and become the petted darling of a wealthy old woman, but for the older and more independent Catherine it meant taking a job as a governess to a little girl who was living under the threatening shadow of danger in a house where she and her governess were barely tolerated.How Catherine, in protecting little Amy, found herself drawn into a strange, shadowed life, not knowing whom to trust, nor whether to hate or like Amy's blunt spoken father, who was unlike any man she had known before, is related in 'The Amateur Governess', which is set in the Brighton of the nineties and moves swiftly through the happenings of the Jubilee Year.'
