Ruth, to the elegant, affluent Bloomsbury household of distant cousin
Patrick Farrell, owner of a successful antique gallery, and his manservant,
Charlie Caulter. Naïve and young for her years, Anna is at first blissfully

with the quasi-charming Madame Gallimard and her sons becomes the catalyst
that threatens to tear her world apart.
