When twenty-one-year-old Elizabeth marries the arrogant and hot-headed soldier John Macarthur, she soon realises she has made a terrible mistake.

    Lättläst roman om ett kvinnoöde i en annan tid. Visst det är en roman men ger ändå en inblick i ett ojämlikt samhälle där samhällsklass och kön är avgörande för rättssäkerheten och möjligheterna att skapa ett liv.
