About the book: 2013 / 1913. England. Edwardian era. The highest aristocratic society, in which they live according to unwritten but unshakable laws. Three young women, forced after the death of their father to move to their uncle’s huge estate near London, do not want to obey traditions. Rowena Buxton believes that the main thing in a person is not wealth or position in society; her younger sister Victoria dreams of going to university and becoming a scientist, like her father. Prudence Tate, the daughter of a maid, grew up and raised with them and dreams of taking a worthy position in society. The bonds that bind these three women are stronger than the bonds of blood. They challenge high society in the years when the clouds of the coming war are gathering over England. For the first time in Russian!
