Synopsis
The year is 1873 and the future seems bleak for twenty-one-year-old Sophie Lackland. Alone in the world, almost penniless, only marriage can rescue her from a life of genteel poverty – and there is no one she wants to marry, not even the faithful Wilfred who has worshipped her since she was a child.Then comes a letter. It tells of the death of her step-grandmamma, widow of Abel Lackland, the great surgeon, and of the strange bequest that would make it possible for Sophie to fulfil her burning ambition to qualify as a physician.
So Sophie sets off for London, to a new life, a career, to her Lackland relatives…and eventually to Gilbert Stacey, who offers her all the charm, the tenderness and the excitement she could have wanted from any man.
