Über diesen Titel

In the halls of Baxendale, a fierce struggle unfolds. Guy Baxendale yearns to wed the lovely daughter of a forester, but his noble parents, Sir Stephen and Dame Alice, are resolute in their refusal to allow their son to marry someone of lower social standing. A dark rumor surfaces, branding the girl a witch, leading to her tragic fate a fiery execution accompanied by a haunting curse upon the Baxendale family. First by the King, and then by the State, And thirdly by that which is thrice as great... Ever since, the Baxendales have been trapped in a cycle of duty and ambition, unable to find true happiness or love. Can the curse be broken? Can a Baxendale truly experience love? This novel challenges the prevailing notions of marriage, ambition, and social class in its era, offering a fresh perspective on love and partnership. Notably, a year after the books release, the author, a viscounts daughter, defied societal expectations by marrying a schoolteacher from a different class—a union described as blissful. - Summary adapted from the books prologue by Stav Nisser.
