Description

The Roseland Peninsula, 1513, is a backdrop for a story of family, fate, and the unyielding spirit of a young woman. Born during an eclipse, Mawde is deemed a child of ill omen by her grandmother, who harbours a deep-seated resentment towards her. As the family's fortunes decline, Mawde's grandmother's malice towards her intensifies, forcing Mawde to make a choice: conform to her grandmother's expectations or forge her own path. With a fierce determination, Mawde sets out to save enough money to return to her mother, but the road ahead is fraught with hardship. Her journey is marked by the harsh realities of kitchen service, where her wits and resilience are tested. Will Mawde's ambition be her salvation or her downfall? A page-turning tale of survival, loyalty, and the power of the human spirit, set against the tumultuous backdrop of 16th-century England.
