It’s 1892 in Lancashire, England and William Somerset, the 6th Earl of Devonton, and his sister, Lady Angelica, are about to receive important guests at their ancestral home, Chalkley House. For some unexplainable reason, a sense of foreboding falls over Lady Angelica from the moment their guests arrive. When murder eventually invades Chalkley House, Lady Angelica realizes her feelings of dread were an omen of things to come.
A Just Measure tells the unusual late-19th century love story of Angelica, a member of the English peerage, and Guarav, a wealthy Indian tea plantation owner. Their connection is not welcome by Angelica's brother or her peers. When the relationship takes an unexpected turn about the same time Angelica discovers the truth behind her parent's death, is she justified in meting out punishment?
An interesting and thought-provoking read that kept me turning the pages - a book that delves into prejudice and what happens when we take justice into our own hands.
What a wonderful story of a family, their secrets, and how justice comes in ways you can't imagine. Truth and love prevails between different cultures that have good hearts and intentions.
