A Short Story about my five times Grandmother, set in 1809, during the Napoleonic Wars. What if your Master began flirting with you, courting you, and talking about making you his wife? Would you be able to refuse? "You be careful Miss, or you'll end up in trouble, " remarked Martha the Cook one day, out of the blue. "I can see the master has taken a fancy to you, " she continued. Fourteen-year-0ld Susan was puzzled.
Hadn't she been brought into Mr. Clayton's home as a companion for his daughter Maria? Hadn't he promised her father to look after her, so that when the time was right she would make a good marriage? So why did he keep staring at her and making embarrassing remarks? Why had he told her she was blooming? Why had he given her a ring? And what was she to do about his repeated attentions?It didn't seem right when his wife was upstairs, dying.

Biographie de Cynthia Sally Haggard

Cynthia Sally Haggard was born and reared in Surrey, England. About 30 years ago she surfaced in the United States, inhabiting the Mid-Atlantic region as she wound her way through four careers: violinist, cognitive scientist, medical writer, and novelist. Her first novel, Thwarted Queen, a saga about the Yorks, Lancasters & Nevilles whose family feud inspired Game of Thrones won the 2021 Gold Medal IPPY Award for Audiobook.
Her second novel, Farewell My Life, a dark historical about a hidden murderer and how far he will go to control the women around him, won the 2021 Independent Press Award for Women's Fiction. Cynthia graduated with an MFA in Creative Writing from Lesley University, Cambridge MA, in June 2015. When she's not annoying everyone by insisting her fictional characters are more real than they are, Cynthia likes to go for long walks, knit something glamorous, cook in her wonderful kitchen, and play the piano.
