Description

A Debt from the Past by Beryl Matthews is a heart-wrenching saga that explores the complexities of family, trust and secrets in 19th-century Hampshire. When Beth Langton returns to her estate after a week away, she's met with devastating news: her best friend Lady Helen Denton's father has taken his own life due to mounting gambling debts. Helen is forced to confront the harsh reality of her situation, but Beth offers her a lifeline in the form of a new home and a chance to work as a paid companion. As they settle into their new routine, another tragedy strikes: Beth learns that her guardian, Lord Edward Sharland, has passed away, leaving her with an unexpected inheritance. But who is this stranger claiming to be his heir, and can she trust him? As Beth navigates the treacherous landscape of family secrets and uncertain loyalties, she must confront the difficult questions about what it means to belong and to be loved.
