About This Book

The narrative centers on Marion, a young woman raised under the stern guardianship of an admiral in a coastal West Country community, and follows household tensions after a French companion, Elise, arrives. Political unrest touches village life when a local youth is arrested for joining Monmouth's cause, provoking divided loyalties among friends and family, including Roger Trevannion. Episodes range from domestic quarrels and courtly scenes in Kensington to dangerous journeys to gaol and the sea, while themes of loyalty, social expectation, and the strains between compassion and authority shape Marion's evolving relationships and choices.
