Having five daughters, Lord Farringdon has more than enough to keep him busy at Nettlecombe Manor. With his wife Lady Charlotte already in London, Edwin must help his daughter Victoria prepare for the Season as she gets ready to follow her stepmother to the city to make her Society debut.
But with little time to prepare a wardrobe for the balls and parties that lie ahead, Victoria must turn to trusted seamstress Jane Haydon for help - and in doing so unearths a fascinating secret hidden for decades in a beautiful piece of white silk . . .
Meanwhile, Edwin's exuberant younger daughter Beatrice embarks on a very unexpected path - becoming a nurse to wounded soldiers in London under the keen eye of Florence Nightingale.
And with the girls' stepmother Lady Charlotte spending Edwin's money while keeping a secret of her own, it's going to be quite a Season . . .
Linda Finlay returns to the glorious story of the Farringdon family, spanning from Devon to London in the 1850s.
