Description
Set in 19th-century Canada, Mary Wakefield tells the story of a young English woman who becomes the governess to two motherless children. Her presence sparks a complex web of emotions and relationships, particularly with the children's uncle, Philip.
The family's dynamics are fraught with tension as they navigate their feelings for each other. The governess's own desires and loyalties are tested by her growing connection to Philip, while his mother does everything in her power to prevent their marriage.
