Agnes Somerset: A Victorian Tale

By Ann Maureen Doyle

In the 1880s, a single woman in her thirties has good reason to worry as she feels the years passing. But Agnes is going to learn that those tiny lines and the new softness around her chin are not her worst enemies. As she struggles to hold together her family's estate and falls under the spell of the puzzling Lord Phillip, Agnes cannot know that her life is destined to be changed forever by a shy Indian girl who dances for a living in a cabaret across the sea.Crooked relatives, wicked neighbors, and creeping time conspire to pull from Agnes her ancestral home, its devoted staff, and the love of a lifetime that seems to have arrived just a little too late. As summer ends, Agnes watches another season slide into winter facing losses she could never have dreamed of. The story's rich cast of characters and historic detail immerse the reader in Agnes's Victorian world. Readers will find that then, as now, life often did not go where you wanted, but might just lead to breathtaking surprises.
