Diese weitläufige Saga zeichnet das turbulente Leben und die Zeiten einer unbezwingbaren, leidenschaftlichen und unvollkommenen Heldin nach. Vor dem raueren, härteren Hintergrund des walisischen Landlebens im Regency-Zeitalter, wo Status hart erkämpft werden muss, verfolgt die Serie ihre Überlebenskämpfe, ihre Enthüllung von Geheimnissen und ihre Bewältigung lokaler Intrigen der Oberschicht. Erzählt in Form von Tagebucheinträgen, bietet diese Sammlung einen fesselnden und immersiven Einblick in die Erfahrungen einer außergewöhnlichen Frau in einer herausfordernden Welt.
In 1796, impetuous Martha Morgan becomes the mistress of an estate, at only eighteen years old. Though she loves her husband dearly, she is lonely in a strange house, and her quick wit and cutting humour make her as many enemies as friends.
Martha Morgan, the beautiful young mistress of the Plas Ingli estate, is warned that trouble is brewing for her family. She tries to carry on with her life, but then she receives the most terrible news any young wife and mother can imagine. Despair threatens to overwhelm her, but Martha has many responsibilities and must live up to expectations. Little by little, with help from her family and neighbors, she sets out to prove she is more than a match for those who have committed an appalling crime.
