Produktbeschreibung

• Riveting historical fiction: On the cusp of the 1837 rebellions in Upper Canada, a love story unfolds between the wife of a clergyman and their servant
• Debut novel that interrogates class, money, power, and women's rights in a sweeping adventurous love story
• The setting takes us to the port town of Goderich, an important part of the colonial expansion of southern Ontario as headquarters for the Canada Company

• Another key theme is the early stirrings of the women's movement
