Lady Felicia Disbrowe married beneath her rank, she believed, and when Captain Cunningham was killed on an Egyptian campaign she was left with a seven-year-old daughter and six hundred a year, an income she considered beneath any grande dame. From her genteel struggle the novel widens to a troubled young man who resolves to leave the town he has come to hate.
A late novel by the author of Lady Audley’s Secret, for readers who enjoy Braddon’s sharp eye for social pretension. Download the free EPUB.
