[Midori · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the introductory part where the reader gets to know, through retrospective narratives, the past of the main character, the now widow Margaret Hungerford, née Carteret, who was stranded in Australia following her villain husband. We learn that she was an uncared for child, her biologist father was a selfish being only interested in his specimens, his second wife a selfish belle, her brother a naive, unversed to the worldly malice. In the family lurks as a sinister character an invalid cousin of the stepmother who cherishes an unhealthy interest towards Margaret and whose dealings with Margaret I do not quite understand. He seems to be a manipulative person who pulls the strings in the life of Margaret while she hates him and acts only to oppose him. In one of those struggles to gain control of her life, Margaret committed the biggest mistake of her youth by eloping and eventually marrying Geoffrey Hungerford, a fellow officer of her brother. The end of this really unfortunate union comes with Hungerford’s death that releases Margaret from the bonds of her husband and takes her back to England. Though she had decided a short stay in her father’s abode, the sudden death of her stepmother and the appearance of a respectable and worthy suitor, Mr Fitzwilliam Meryton Baldwin turn the cards on the table.
Slow at the beginning, the narrative lacks of dynamic and the writing is weak. I am not completely persuaded of the plot development.
