The Black Candle
Buy the book from:
In 1880, Bridget Mordaunt is already an accomplished industrial employer, having inherited and successfully managed her father’s businesses from the age of nineteen. Her concern for her impulsive cousin Victoria draws her into the decaying world of Grove House and the schemes of Lionel Filmore, who sees marriage as a route out of his family’s poverty.
Bridget’s efforts to protect Victoria create ties between the Mordaunts and Filmores that endure for nearly half a century. Across business expansion, marriage, war and generational conflict, acts of generosity and manipulation shape descendants who inherit both the advantages and the injuries of the original connection.
