The dramatic and compelling story of a rich and powerful family in Victorian England.
It is 1877 and Margaret Lorimer lives a gilded existence as the daughter of one of Bristol’s most powerful men, banker John Junius Lorimer.
But Margaret wants more than the constricting life of a dutiful Victorian daughter. She is intelligent, ambitious and uninterested in the luxury provided by her family’s wealth.
When she falls in love with a comparatively humble young Scot, her father’s acceptance of the union makes her believe that at last she is in control of her own destiny.
Unknown to Margaret, however, behind the façade of her father’s respectability lie secrets which threaten both his reputation and his fortune.
And when Margaret and her fiancé become unsuspecting pawns in her father’s struggle to avert disaster, the Lorimers’ luck appears to have finally run out.
If Margaret is to ever have the independent and fulfilling life she dreams of, she must make it happen by herself.
With the prejudices of the age and the expectations of her family against her, she will need extraordinary courage to succeed…
The Lorimer Line is a sparkling and enthralling novel and the first in a delightful and compelling series which chronicles the lives and fortunes of the Lorimer family.
