Historical | Romance
Two remarkably different worlds—one of wealth and privilege,
the other of poverty and desperation—are about to collide in
one shattering moment in this mesmerizing tale of high
drama, forbidden love, and families fighting to hold on to
what they have Upstairs: Lord Netherwood, a coal baron, earns his
considerable wealth from the three mines he owns. Supplying
a bustling industrial empire with the highest-quality coal
keeps his coffers filled—money he needs to run his splendid
estate, Netherwood Hall, and to dress his wife and daughters
in the latest fashions. And keeping his heir, the charming
but feckless Tobias, out of trouble, doesn't come cheap. Downstairs: Eve Williams, the wife of one of Lord
Netherwood's most stalwart employees, cleverly manages her
family's well-being on the low wages her hardworking husband
earns in the mines. But when her ordered life amid the
terraced rows of miners' houses is brought crashing down by
the twin arrivals of tragedy and charity, Eve must look to
her own self-sufficiency and talent to provide for her three
young children. And soon the divide between "upstairs" and "downstairs" is
about to close . . .and neither world will ever be the same.
