'Delia Blanchflower' Summary
Upon inheriting a substantial fortune, Delia Blanchflower finds herself at odds with her late father's wishes. Caught up in the fervor of the Suffragist movement, she defies his will by joining the militant wing, led by the charismatic Gertrude Marvell. As a result, her inheritance is placed in trust, with Mark Winnington, an old family friend, appointed as its guardian. What follows is a tumultuous tale of relationships, love triangles, and personal growth, all set against the backdrop of a society grappling with social and political change. Delia's journey involves navigating the complexities of love, duty, and her own convictions, while Gertrude Marvell emerges as a powerful and influential figure, embodying the strength and determination of the Suffragette movement.Book Details
