| Summary |
Rowena and Victoria Buxton and Prudence Tate were raised together as sisters, though Pru is the daughter of the Buxton's governess. As a result, she never really belonged in either world -- downstairs with the household staff, or upstairs with the Buxton daughters. After Pru's desperate marriage and move to London, Rowena and Victoria fear they have lost their beloved friend forever. Guilt-ridden and remorseful, Rowena seeks comfort from a daring flyboy and embraces the most dangerous activity the world has ever seen. Victoria defies her family and her illness to make her own dream of becoming a botanist come true, despite the fact that this role is deemed most unladylike. As England and the world step closer to conflict, the two young women flout their family, their upbringing, and their heritage to seize a modern future of their own making. |
