As rumors swirl and loyalties fracture, Francis's fierce spirit and reckless choices set the stage for generational conflict, shaping the destiny of the Herries family for decades to come.Blending historical literary fiction, psychological drama, and British family saga, Walpole crafts a world alive with vivid landscapes, magnetic characters, and the quiet pressures of social expectation.
