Description
Christine Warrinder is the daughter of one of London’s top barristers. Stifled by the restrictions of Victorian society, when she meets Daniel Hunter, a working-class man with opposing political beliefs to her own, she finds herself irreversibly drawn to him.
Defying her parents and fiancé to work in London’s East End, Christine finds her loyalties divided as her friendship with Daniel develops into love. But Daniel has his own reasons to be interested in Christine’s family, in particular in her elegant and wealthy father, for they share an old secret – and Daniel is determined to bring about Everard Warrinder’s downfall. But the scandal which follows threatens to ruin them all…
Moving from the exclusive squares of Mayfair to the slums of the East End, from the wilds of Scotland to the battlefields of the Crimea, this is a story of tragedy, secrets and enduring love.
