London, 1821. A glazier's daughter shoves a lord away from her at
a ball, he goes through a glass door, and by the end of the month
she is the one with no name left. Her father's shop is sold to pay
his damages. She is sent north to a shut-up fortress on the
Northumberland coast to keep the letters of a half-blind duke.
She could have settled it in nine seconds. Broken glass tells you
which side the force came from, and she read it on the night, and
in seventeen months not one person ever asked her.
Then she finds a tax paper on his desk. The sheet says eleven
windows. The cottage has seven. And at the foot of the sheet is
his own signature, eleven years of it.
A full-length Regency drama about a tax on daylight, a woman who
bricked up four of her own windows and sat in the dark for twelve
years, and a right to appeal that was free and that nobody knew
they had.
