Horatia, a young Englishwoman reading in her garden among the sunflowers, is the centre of a story that moves between English country life, Oxford in the years of the religious revival led by Newman and Keble, and Brittany, where French royalists still plot. Faith, family ties and an attachment across national lines shape the choices of its characters.
