Beskrivning

Beloved writer Alfred Gibson''s funeral is taking place at Westminster Abbey, and Dorothea, his wife of twenty years has not been invited. Gibson''s will favours his many children and secret mistress over Dorothea - who was sent away from the family home when their youngest was still an infant. Dorothea has not left her apartment in years, but when she receives a surprise invitation to a private audience with Queen Victoria, she is shocked to find she has much in common with Her Highness. With renewed confidence Dorothea is spurred to examine her past and confront not only her family but the pretty young actress Miss Ricketts.
