Description
Bess's life in Bristol is one of ambiguity and confinement. Raised alongside the Liston family children, she has been increasingly relegated to domestic service since Joshua Liston's death. When Richard instigates an introduction between Captain Adam Bryce and his sister Artemisia, Bess finds herself drawn into a web of deceit that will test her relationships with those around her. As tensions rise in both Bristol and rural Somerset, Bess must navigate the complex loyalties and allegiances that bind her to the men in her life. With secrets and rivalries threatening to upend her world, it becomes increasingly difficult to discern who can be trusted and whom to love. A well-written Regency novel with a strong narrative voice, this story explores themes of family commitment, amorous liaisons, and societal prejudice through Bess's eyes.
