Fate and Legacies

By Rosanne Dingli

Novelties, postponements, change

A widow surprised and bewildered

The Edwardian period dawns on Denisthorn Hall

Lady Geraldine Crownrigg deals with the horrific death of her wayward husband, discovering more about his life. With her mother becoming more unstable, she is now mistress of Denisthorn Hall, where her father, Lord Croukerne, is rapidly recovering strength and resuming his vital role.
Queen Victoria's demise is behind them, and King Edward VII accesses England's throne. Changes are afoot, and not only in the pocket of countryside where the estate stands. Plans, postponements, alterations and shifts take place all over the country: everything is changing, and modern times do not suit everyone.
What--a gramophone, a motorcar? Even mere mentions of these contraptions forecast great changes ahead. What will face the earl and countess, their daughters and all matters at Denisthorn Hall and other stately homes in the 1900s?
Fate and Legacies is a pivotal episode in this series. It leads on from staid Victorian times into the exciting Edwardian period, when customs, habits, etiquette and fashions all seem to change too fast.
