About this audiobook
After the death of his beloved wife, the Duke of Omnium faces the daunting task of raising his three headstrong children alone. The gap between generations widens as his sons and daughter make romantic and political choices that defy his deeply held aristocratic values. This poignant novel focuses on the human side of a statesman, revealing his vulnerability and the painful process of adapting to a changing world. It is a study of fatherhood, legacy, and the inevitable compromise between tradition and the pursuit of individual happiness.
