What this book is about
Annabelle Archer wins one of the first scholarships for women at Oxford in 1879 — on the condition that she work for the women's suffrage movement. Her target: the powerful Duke of Montgomery, whose vote in Parliament could make the difference. The Duke of Montgomery is not the enemy she expected. A historically grounded romance that takes its feminist politics seriously without sacrificing its emotional heart.
