She expected to hand off the translation and wash her hands of the project-instead, she is intrigued by the young woman who turns up at her door, begging to be allowed to do the work, and she agrees to let Lucy stay. Showing up at the Countess’ London home, she hoped to find a challenge, not a woman who takes her breath away.Ĭatherine St Day looks forward to a quiet widowhood once her late husband’s scientific legacy is fulfilled.
