Another great chapter in this series. This books mainly follows Henrietta on her marriage and Venetia and her family. Some great conversations are had, linking to Jack the Ripper and Oscar Wilde. I really enjoyed this, but will sadly be taking a break from the Morlands as I have far too many other books to read!Set in the Late Victorian era, this Morland Dynasty volume deals with divorce, Oscar Wilde, the Prince of Wales and other concerns of the time.

After having read all if the books leading up to this one about 8 years ago it was good to dip back in. I enjoyed the historical element and was desperate when the marriage took place of the fatal Tsar!! No doubt this will crop up in a couple of books time! Good read and now need to catch up as think we are up to around 33. So clever to follow a series of books about one dynasty right up to present day.
continuing story of the morland's. henrietta is a widow but she has met Jerome Compton again whom she is in love with. they leave the village and go to London and get married. Jerome is a divorced man and this is not exceptable in Victorian England. their friends in London find out about his past and they are shunned. teddy Henrietta's brother lives in Yorkshire and owns moorland place but he does not live there. he has had someone look after the place but they are not very reliable. the place
This is where I truly start to fall in love with the characters. Was in tears at Emma's death and so so sad for Lizzie. I have started to wonder where are other families that were mentioned in the previous books mind.
This is pretty good. Henrietta & Jerome finally get married & go to London where they have a successful life with Jerome working as a stockbroker. But it all ends badly. Or goes to shit. Whichever you prefer. Back in Yorkshire, Morland Place has fallen on hard times being vacant & run down. However, it provides a ready solution when Jerome (inevitably for the narrative) is declared bankrupt in the face of the South Sea Bubble stock market crash. Teddy Morland thoroughly redeems
