A Victorian tale of life and love
By Nicole Kotoman
An unexpected marriage of convenience turns into a passionate love story in Victorian London.
In Victorian London, a tale of unlikely love unfolds between Andrea Sutton and Madeline Pearce. At twenty-one, Andrea inherits a vast fortune and the grief of losing her parents and twin brother. She adopts his identity, dressing as a man to navigate society’s constraints.
Madeline, at thirty-nine, is a twice-divorced mother of ten-year-old twin girls, facing eviction due to her second husband’s gambling debts. Desperation leads her to hastily strike a marriage deal with Andrea.
What begins as a practical arrangement blossoms into profound love. Andrea matures from a spoiled heiress to a compassionate spouse and parent. Madeline, once burdened by life’s hardships, finds solace and partnership in Andrea’s love.
Their daughters discover the joy and passion of music, adding another layer to their family’s story.
Surrounded by a vibrant cast of characters from various walks of life, “A Victorian tale of life and love” is a story of resilience, societal defiance, and the transformative power of love in an era of rigid norms, amidst the backdrop of a vividly depicted historical setting, all woven together with warmth and humor.
