|summary=Everything Frances Irvine knows and has come to depend on ends abruptly when her father dies, throwing her into comparative poverty. Her only chance is to leave Victorian England and migrate to South Africa and a loveless marriage to Dr Edwin Matthews, as he fights the spread of smallpox amongst the diamond diggers. In this compulsive, panoramic novel Frances learns that exciting isn't necessarily good and good isn't necessarily unexciting.

This is indeed a first novel of which to be proud and, personally, I can't wait for the second.
I would like to thank the people at Penguin/Viking for providing The Bookbag with a copy for review. We also have a review of [[Leopard at the Door by Jennifer McVeigh]].
If you've enjoyed this and would like to read more about women fighting against the odds, (albeit in a different continent) try [[The Rose Of Sebastopol by Katharine McMahon]].
