Confinement - Hardcover
1849: Bess Hardemon arrives at the grimly Victorian Priors Heath school, determined to make a difference to the lives of the girls there - but at what personal cost? 1967: Sarah Beckett is delighted to gain a place at Priors Heath - as much for the pride of her parents as for herself - but will she fit in with the other girls, particularly the wild, unpredictable Imogen? Over a century apart, both Bess and Sarah struggle to find a place for themselves in a world where the restrictions of society, marriage and even motherhood still have powerful, far-reaching consequences.
