This witty tale of manners follows the life of a gardener’s daughter who finds herself thrust into London’s high society. Sally Brighouse wants to put her knowledge of herbal medicine to use by working in an Apothecary Shop. Her ambition is no different from that of any young woman today. The intricacies of Victorian Society, however, provide a wealth of challenges for her to overcome as well as providing a rich backdrop to her story.

The second instalment of Sally’s quest for fulfilment finds her journeying to India. She meets with Maharajas, Maharanis and concubines; colonial officials from the East India Company; and Indian villagers. She has to fight to save her husband’s life and finds herself serving the English parliament as she makes the long journey home alone.
