Kate Danton, Or, Captain Danton's Daughters: A Novel
When Captain Danton and his eldest daughter Kate return to Canada after years abroad, the quiet household at Danton Hall trembles with barely concealed unease. Grace Danton, the unconventional daughter who has managed the estate with her brother Doctor Frank, watches the arrival of her estranged relatives with a mixture of dread and fascination. Kate Danton, bold and beautiful, brings with her an air of worldly confidence that unsettles the established order of the family. As long-buried tensions surface and romantic entanglements bloom, the women of Danton Hall must navigate questions of duty, desire, and belonging. May Agnes Fleming, one of the nineteenth century's most popular sensation novelists, crafts a drama where every family secret threatens to erupt and every marriageable daughter plays a high-stakes game for her future.
