ANN & FREDERICK

by Marcus Attwater

novella, epub

Ann and Frederick. The pastry-cook's daughter. The earl's youngest son. They are not going to fall in love. What binds them together is more subtle and less visible than that, but bound together they are...

The lives of a maidservant and the son of an earl should be entirely separate, but there are always cross-currents at work beneath the politesse of eighteenth-century society which link the different parts of 'the big house' - from the village children to visiting royalty - and which mean that from childhood to old age, their lives are inevitably entwined.
