Evangeline Burnes is a respectable middle class Victorian lady - a loyal wife to her merchant husband and devoted mother of three children. A charismatic society hostess and tireless champion for the abolition of England's child labour force.

Or is she???? Our heroine's impeccable reputation is little more than a decoy floating on society's calm waters.  What lies beneath is a troubled soul paralysed with insecurity and self loathing. 

But with a new life awaiting the family in a grand Oxfordshire estate, Evangeline will soon be able to leave her indiscretions behind and start afresh. Or will she???
