About this audiobook
Inheriting a German estate seems like a dream for Anna Estcourt, but her altruistic vision soon clashes with reality. Her attempt to create a haven for distressed gentlewomen leads to a series of humorous and trying complications. This novel sharply critiques the naivety of good intentions while offering a warm, insightful look at female independence.
