Foxglove Manor: A Novel, Volume 2 (of 3)

A provincial household is shaken by love, suspicion, and competing loyalties as characters move between country manor and London. Domestic tensions—jealousy, ruptured promises, and classed social expectations—play out in parlour scenes, at the opera, and in studio encounters. Parallel threads introduce scientific curiosity and philosophical reflection through an elixir experiment and notebook extracts, while servants and clergy feature in moral dilemmas and local gossip. The volume alternates intimate emotional crises with broader observations on art, faith, and human frailty, building toward escalating revelations that test relationships and authority within the household.
