Synopsis

This book, set in the 19th century, is an intricate chronicle of sensitive and independent Ellen Brom, who lives a life of secrets, both in her heart and concealed in the family home. A complex yet compelling portrait is painted of a young woman in the confines of societal norms in a rural English setting. She struggles amidst family troubles and the rigid expectations of Victorian society. Ellen oscillates between her loyalty to her wayward brother John and her duty to their demanding mother. The author skilfully intertwines themes of love, loss and the search for personal identity, and explores how these are influenced by both personal relationships and social constraints. The book delves into class and privilege, the nature of truth, and the different ways in which people grieve and heal. Ultimately, it is a timeless and thought-provoking story about the resilience of the human spirit, the secrets we keep and the sacrifices we make for love.
