'The kind of novelist who inspires an intense sense of ownership in
her fans ... her sympathies tended naturally to the marginal, the
vulnerable, the exploited, the obscure' Sarah Waters Sukey Bond, a
sixteen-year-old orphan, is sent to work as a servant at a farm on
the remote Essex Marshes. There she falls in love with gentle,
unworldly Eric, the son of the rector's wife, only for them to be
separated when their relationship is discovered. But nothing will
deter Sukey in her quest to be reunited with her true love, even if
it means seeking the help of Queen Victoria herself. 'One of our
most idiosyncratic, courageous and versatile writers' Hermione Lee
'One can't be too thankful that Miss Townsend Warner has lived to
discover the alchemist's secret of transmuting the past into pure
gold' Hilary Spurling
