Set in the England that inspired David Copperfield, this novel follows the lives of women who find refuge at Urania Cottage. Martha, a recent arrival, discovers that this place is more than just a country house; it is a fresh start for those seeking to escape their troubled pasts. Through the story of Angela Burdett-Coutts, the benefactor of the refuge, the book explores themes of freedom, independence, and the collective strength of women. It is a powerful hymn to audacity and perseverance.
