Agnes is getting older. In the 1880s, a single woman in her thirties has good reason to worry. But Agnes is going to learn that those tiny lines, the new softness around her chin, are not her worst enemies. As she struggles to hold together her family's estate and falls under the spell of the mysterious Lord Phillip, Agnes little knows that her life is somehow destined to be changed forever by a shy Indian girl who dances in a dim cabaret far across the ocean.
Crooked relatives, wicked neighbors, and creeping time conspire to pull from Agnes her ancestral home, its beloved staff, and the love of a lifetime that seems to have arrived just a little too late. As summer ends, Agnes watches another season slide into winter facing losses she could never have dreamed of.
The story's rich cast of characters and historic detail immerse the reader in Agnes's Victorian world. Then, as now, life usually did not go where you wanted it to, but for better or worse was full of breath-taking surprises.
About the Author: Ann Doyle spent a year researching the historical background of the novel and two more writing it. She was a professional writer and editor of nonfiction material for years. Agnes Somerset is her first novel. Ann and her husband have five children and live in the ancient little city of Saint Augustine, Florida.
