Description du livre
A new life - but will it bring happiness?
Wonderfully compelling historical romance - perfect for fans of BRIDGERTON
Bridie Tantallon is setting out on a new life - one that she hopes will bring opportunities and, if she is lucky, happiness. It is the turn of the century, and she is setting out from London to Edinburgh to help her great aunt complete her memoirs.
An orphan, Bridie's life has not been easy, but could this be just what she needs? So she is not deterred by her aunt's pretended dipsomania, the various half-hearted attempts made on her life, or even her growing love for Lady Otranta's long-suffering heir, Andrew. Otranta's memoirs, detailing her rise from a music hall magician's assistant to a confidante of Queen Victoria, are interwoven with the more recent tale of Bridie's adventures.
