Ann & Frederick

by Marcus Attwater

The lives of Ann, a maidservant, and Frederick, 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.

'The Histories of Claybrooke' is a series of short stories and novellas about the Earls of Claybrooke and their family at various points in history, focusing on social and gender expectations– and subversions.

Reviews

[LizI · Rating 4 out of 5]

An intimate portrait of two entwined (but not romantically) eighteenth-century lives. It’s only a short novella but when you finish you feel you’ve read much more than that.
