Book
Devil’s Daughter
First published 2019
Phoebe, Lady Clare, arrives at a family wedding expecting to dislike West Ravenel, whom her late husband remembered as a cruel schoolboy. She instead meets a capable estate manager whose adult character conflicts with the story she has carried, while West doubts that a widowed aristocrat could accept his past.
The novel examines widowhood, estate agriculture and the possibility of moral change within Victorian family life. Phoebe possesses status but must still negotiate expectations surrounding mourning, motherhood and remarriage.
