New Release – The Oath

As this is my 500th blog post, I thought it should be a big announcement. So here it is:-

The Oath is now available to preorder via Amazon Kindle at an early bird price which will increase on 1st August 2023.

The Oath takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster with its captivating story set in the late Victorian era.  Although heartbreaking, it is also uplifting, both of which may cause the reader to shed a tear or two.

Opening in France on 23rd March 1895, Françoise’s seventeenth birthday, her father announces she’s to leave her homeland and travel to England to marry distant cousin Charles Dubois.

‘Playtime is over. Seventeen is old enough to wed and bear a child.’

Narrators, Francoise and her servant girl, Tilly, defy class boundaries and become close friends.

Both young women have their own story to tell.

Marry the baronet, or vulnerable parents face la prison des pauvres

France 1895 – Seventeen-year-old Françoise abandons her carefree life and sails for England to marry distant cousin Charles Dubois. On arrival she finds her groom aloof and evasive.

Draped in expensive silk brocade, she yearns for her homeland and comfortable gowns, and when she discovers the baronet’s clandestine visits, it is her cheery maid she turns to, her new confidante and friend. 

BETRAYAL – HEARTBREAK – FRIENDSHIP
