| Summary: | Seventeenth-century London is not accustomed to such a woman. Margaret Featherstone, a widow, manages her own household and business affairs. As a playwright, she consistently competes with England's most creative men for the attention of stage directors, benefactors, and even King Charles II. But Margaret Fetherstone hides a secret longing from the rest of her world -- and even from herself. Amy Dudley shares both Margaret's ambition and her longing. With her superb acting ability, Amy could deliver instant acclaim for Margaret's work -- but if her past should come back to life, it could deliver them both to the gallows. |
