About This Book

A noblewoman copes with a loveless, distrustful marriage and the persistent fear that her husband resents both her and their child. She seeks solace and practical support among neighboring families in a stormy Welsh landscape marked by miner unrest, balancing tenderness for her son, loyalty to her ailing father’s memory, and a desire to protect her brother. Torn between resignation and moral resistance, she weighs negotiation, forgiveness, and quiet defiance while navigating class tensions, the constraints of household authority, and the small mercies offered by sympathetic friends.
