The villagers were charged for the same work. As she follows the money through receipts and estate ledgers, she uncovers a deception that forces Julian to reckon with the complaints he once ignored. And when she notices something strange about his sealed bedroom, she begins to question what he was told about his illness. As Julian begins to recover, Clara uses her savings to open a lending library. If he wants a place in her new life, he’ll have to ask for one.
