Book description
London, 1859. By the time Dora Damage discovers that her husband
Peter has arthritis in his hands, it is too late - their book-binding
business is in huge debt and the family is on the brink of entering
the poorhouse. But Dora proves that she is more than just a housewife
and mother. She resolves to rescue her family at any price and finds
herself irrevocably entangled in a web of sex, money, deceit and the law.
Belinda Starling lived in Wivenhoe, Essex with her husband and
children and died in August 2006. This is her first book.
