A Righted Wrong: A Novel. Volume 3 (of 3)
A story of love, reputation, and the long shadow of the past, set among the gilded drawing rooms and crumbling estates of Victorian England. Gertrude Baldwin stands at a crossroads, her future uncertain as old secrets and past choices close around her. When a figure departs for a perilous ocean voyage, the shore already fading into strangeness, we understand that some part of her life is ending. Mr. Dugdale watches from the margins, an elderly observer who has seen too many lives shaped by the merciless calculus of social standing. The title promises redemption, and in true Victorian fashion, this is a novel about the possibility of being whole again after the world has seen you broken. Rich with the period's characteristic blend of restraint and emotional intensity, this is a novel for readers who savor the slow burn of forbidden feeling and the quiet devastation of watching someone you love disappear over the horizon.
