About this book
Cora begins her account aboard a ship approaching New York in June 1835, writing to the mother she has left across the Atlantic. Newly married to the physician Frank Lenox, she expects a modest cottage and discovers a much grander home at Crawford. Her first entries follow the uncertainty of meeting her husband's family, the warmth of their welcome and her efforts to make sense of her new household.
Madeline Leslie gives this domestic novel the intimacy of a journal addressed to a trusted parent. Family conversations, religious gratitude and small surprises share space with concern for neighbours in difficulty. In a later passage, Frank's busy medical practice runs alongside acts of kindness, while Emily seeks help for a family hoping to recover Rose Cottage.
