The Question (Morland Dynasty)
1898. As the 19th century draws to a close, Morland Place, the ancient Yorkshire home of the Morland family, faces a happier future. Teddy Morland, master of the house, begins to restore the family seat to its former glory, while his sister Henrietta and her family fill the house with life. And when Henrietta’s daughter Lizzie returns to give birth to her first child, it seems a symbol of renewal and hope. But on the brink of the new century, the great stability of Victorian England is under threat. The reverses and cruelties of the Boer War, followed by the unthinkable death of Queen Victoria shake the foundations of a confident nation. What changes will the accession of  the gambling, cigar–smoking, automobile–loving King Edward bring? The next generation of Morlands are facing a new world, full of wonders—and questions. The author of 24 previous novels in theMorland Dynastyseries, Cynthia Harrod–Eagles is also known for her highly praised Bill Slider mysteries.
