Edwardian Candlelight, Fiction, Historical romance
Delightful Regency romance from the author of the Agatha Raisin series; now a major new drama from Sky 1
The ninth book in M.C. Beaton's charming Edwardian Candlelight series.
Maggie Macleod was weary of life with a soul sickness that ate into every fiber of her being. In a mad way, it did not seem strange to her that she should be on the way to High Court to stand trial for the murder of her husband. Her marriage seemed to have been one long dreary desert lit by flares of cruelty...
The Edwardian Candlelight Series chronicles young, passionate girls who come to understand the nature of true love despite overwhelming odds. From a penniless pauper, a stenographer, a governess to an accused murderess, these ladies in love overcome incredible odds with grit and sophistication to find and keep true love.
