Read by Juliet Stevenson.

Set in the 1840s when the upper echelons of society began to rub shoulders with the emerging industrial nouveau riche. The story begins on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. At the Duchess of Richmond's now legendary ball, one family's life will change forever. One family, "middle" class, whose daughter marries and gives birth to a child; and the second family - aristocrats - whose son is the father of that child.,Fast forward 20 + years and the story weaves between the two families; how they connect with each other; how the child (a grown man now) becomes part of the connection; when/how will the secret come out about the man's provenance.
