About this audiobook
In a society obsessed with bloodlines and bank accounts, a country doctor quietly guards the secret of his niece's birth to protect her future. Mary Thorne, possessing every virtue but a legitimate name, falls in love with the heir to the local squire, whose family faces financial ruin and demands a wealthy match. The story masterfully critiques the mercantile nature of marriage, pitting true affection against the harsh realities of debt and class prejudice. It is a testament to the quiet dignity of professional men and the enduring power of love.
