Book summary:
Alice Lockey, the clever and ambitious daughter of a tenant farmer, has worked her way up to become a lady’s maid at Alderwick Park. Though her mother expects her to marry, Alice has resisted the local suitors, preferring the independence her hard-earned position provides. That changes when she catches the eye of Charlie Wells, a visiting valet. Hoping to secure a future with Charlie, Alice schemes to bring together their employers, Lady Jemima Alderwick and Sir Nigel Wynstowe. But as the women’s suffrage movement begins to take hold in London, Alice starts to wonder whether marriage is really the only path to a better life—and what kind of future she might make for herself.
