Synopsis
At eleven years of age, Albertina Victoriana Listerman suffers dreadful sorrow from the loss of her parents in a terrible accident. Approaching her twenty-first birthday, she experiences further tragedy, which destroys her whole way of life: her half-brother has committed suicide, having squandered the family fortune and Ally is no longer acceptable in society. Robbed of her very last penny, Ally is thrust into a world of hardship for which she is ill-prepared. Her only salvation comes from meeting Jack Fossett during one of the worst rainstorms in Leicestershire's history. But Jack's mother, Flo, is deeply resentful of all gentlefolk, with good reason. And time must pass and secrets must be revealed before Ally and Flo see eye to eye - particularly when they discover that Ally is in fact not as destitute as she thought . . .Latest Additions
