In 1913, twenty-two-year-old Agnes Conway manages the adjoining sweet and tobacconist shops owned by her unreliable father. Her sister’s pregnancy by one of the notorious Felton brothers exposes dark secrets in Arthur Conway’s past, while Agnes conceals her own relationship with Charles Farrier, the son of a wealthy local landowner.
Charles defies his pious family by proposing marriage, but his brother Reginald also makes his admiration for Agnes clear. As family scandal and class prejudice narrow her choices, the approach of war transforms the meaning of both relationships and determines which man will have the greater influence on her future.
This book has also been published under the title A Marriage of Scandal.
