AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Orphan daughter of well-related English parents, Augusta becomes a governess in Vicotria. Her romance with a young doctor is broken by the scheming daughter of her employer, so Augusta seeks a new position in the country - only to find herself with an Irish mistress given to the drink and a handful of boisterous children ... Well-paced romance lightened with comic domestic descriptions. (PB)
