First published 2015
Lucy Snowe arrives alone in Brussels, a stranger in a foreign land with nothing but her wits and determination. As an English Protestant in a Catholic school, she navigates a world of rigid social expectations and cultural barriers. When she falls for her charismatic employer, M. Paul Emanuel, Lucy must choose between societal constraints and her own passionate heart. Her survival depends on her resilience—and her ability to forge an identity in a world that offers her little support or recognition.
