The author of such swashbuckling adventures as She and King Solomon’s Mines turns to domestic drama in the 1894 romance. Joan is a shop girl of illegitimate birth—and a single mother besides. Torn from the love of country-dwelling Captain Henry Graves, Joan endures exile with a Dickensian London family, and pursuit by a Victorian-era stalker.
