Stella of Essex Or The Vicar's Wife Betrayed

In 19th Century England, Sweet, demure Stella falls in love with an up-and-coming vicar named William. As his wife, she agrees to do all she can to support his ministry. Though after years of their happy marriage, Stella not only falls ill with tuberculosis but discovers that William is having an affair. What happens to the wife, the woman, left behind? She must learn to speak up for herself and release her long-repressed anger. Amidst devastating heartbreak, Stella seeks hope, happiness...and revenge

The Essex Serpent is reimagined and told from the perspective of Stella Ransome. And with a new ending rather than her canon fate.

A portrait of a woman who became The Ideal Lady her time and marriage required her to be. A picture of a marriage of love and bliss torn apart by a husband's infidelity.

And Stella herself in the center of it all. Where in the midst of devastating heartbreak she gains her strength, finds her voice, and dares to seek freedom, hope...and even revenge.

THIS IS FANFICTION. I DO NOT OWN THE WORK IT IS BASED ON NOR THE CHARACTERS.
