Dublin, Ireland, January 1894. As a new year begins, Will and Isobel face an uncertain future. Margaret Simpson must move into St Patrick’s Hospital, but as a second-class boarder, a necessity that places immense emotional and financial strain on the Higginson family and pushes Gordon and Elizabeth’s marriage to the brink of collapse.
While Will takes on his most challenging patient yet, Jim Harvey’s sudden death leaves Harriett in a precarious position. Though asset-rich, she finds herself cash-poor and must consider a distressing array of options – until an unexpected suggestion offers her hope. But is this proposal merely a childish fantasy, or could it be a perfect solution?
