About This Book

The narrative follows a woman whose concealed past provokes gossip and polite ostracism after she marries into a rural English household. Family members, neighbours and a returning military acquaintance react with suspicion, shame and fear as hints of a troubling secret emerge. The plot traces shifting loyalties and quiet romantic attachments amid social tension, escalating into accusations that take on the air of a haunting wrongdoing, and then concentrates on attempts to uncover the truth, vindicate reputations, and arrive at forgiveness and reconciliation among the characters.
