Book excerpt: Unmarried and penniless-though born wealthy and privileged-this strong-willed Regency heroine is determined to rise above her grim prospects. After the death of her wealthy aunt, brilliant and proud Agnes Merriweather has no alternative but to go and live with her brother, a discreet naturalist of reduced means, in the small Derbyshire village of Kympton. Accustomed to a life of comfort and a society of elegance, Agnes must adjust to the small, unvarying confines of her new life in her brother's modest country cottage. Agnes struggles to engage her lively mind and to quench her restless spirit, whilst fearing that her prospects for making a successful marriage have entirely vanished. Impassioned by nature, Agnes must learn to put aside her preconceptions about society, happiness, and herself as she battles to realize a fulfilling life. Inspired by the novels of Jane Austen, in the second book of The Derbyshire Chronicles, Eleanor Wilton introduces an unforgettable Regency heroine whose character is marked by intelligence and a passionate resolve to live life to its fullest, regardless of the obstacles placed in her path.
