  • "Money was tight in the farming communities around Fellburn, England, in the 1880s, so when Hector Stewart, only two years after the death of his long-suffering wife, announces to his children, Daniel and Pattie, that he is to marry Moira Conelly, a "wealthy" distant relative who lives in "a castle" in Ireland, it is easy to discern his motive. Moira, who had not been entirely honest about her background or finances, she has convinced herself that she would be marrying into landed gentry, allowing her the leisured lifestyle to which she believes herself entitled. It is with somesurprise, therefore, after she arrives with her compaion that she realizes she is now the mistress of a ramshackel farm without any servants. Nonetheless, with her ever-cheerful disposition, Moira soon settles into the Stewart family routine. Pattie, always the rebel, leaves home to be married, but Daniel can see no escape. Moira and Hector's marriage of convenience works well enough at first, but as their growing family compounds their financial difficulties, Hector's behavior toward her changes disturbingly. A horrifying act of violence provokes an even more shocking act of retribution in the family."@en

Then came some wide-ranging news and a family tragedy..."
