The Cause - Cynthia Harrod-Eagles
The forthcoming marriage of Venetia, eldest daughter of the Duke of Southport, and 'Beauty' Winchmore is the talk of London society, and a match which has the full support of Venetia's parents. And within weeks of her shameful behaviour her father is dead and she is ostracised from her family, left with a tiny allowance to carry on with the 'cause' and try to qualify as a doctor.Meanwhile at Morland Place George's new wife is whittling away at his fortune during the worst agricultural recession of the century. But just weeks before the wedding Venetia cries off - unable to accept that her husband-to-be will forbid her to study medicine.
His sister, Henrietta, apparently safely married off to the Reverend Fortescue, has realised her marriage is a hollow pretence of conjugal bliss and falls heavily in love with a local squire - a passion which seems destined to be unfulfilled.
