Lydia or A Web Unwoven

By Catherine J Bowness

Lydia's guardian, the Earl of Maresfield, was wounded during the Battle of Waterloo and, attended by eminent physicians, is in London while his family, including his new wife, Emmeline, have been left in the country. Emmeline is miserable, suspecting that she has been abandoned. The Earl's children, much given to squabbling amongst themselves, also feel neglected; they resent their stepmother and, unrestrained by their governess, treat her with contempt. The only bright spot in everyone's lives is the Earl's eldest son, Viscount Chalvington.Lydia does her best to assist this disordered household and develops a warm friendship with Lord Chalvington. When he returns to university, Lydia goes to London where she finally meets her guardian. Early the next morning the family receives shocking news, as a result of which the complicated web of deceit, woven many years ago, begins to unravel. How many people are what they seem and how will the family deal with the repercussions?Praise for Bowness's other books includes: "she always produces a story full of romance and adventure, with well-developed and engaging characters ... rattles along with many a twist and turn to keep the plot interesting. A real page turner;" and "the usual psychological acuity from Catherine Bowness, very good plot."
