Who is Alfred Gibson? Does the public really know him better than his wife?
Alfred Gibson’s funeral has taken place at Westminster Abbey, and Dorothea, his wife of twenty years, has not been invited. His will favours his children and a clandestine mistress over his estranged wife. Dorothea is left only with the comforts of her feisty youngest daughter Kitty, whose attempts to demonise her father challenge Dorothea’s memories.
When an invitation for a private audience with Queen Victoria arrives, she begins to examine her own life more closely.
