Meer info | 'I am only obeying the law that Nature has engraved indelibly in the heart of a mother, to never be separated from her child.' In July 1825 Cecilia Zoffany, daughter of a famous artist, flees to the island of Guernsey with her two young daughters, one of them disguised as a boy. Alone and distressed, the beautiful stranger seeks the help of locals in a desperate attempt to retain the custody of her children. Her estranged husband, a London clergyman, follows close behind. Time is running out for Cecilia and everyone is watching. A mother's love stands defiantly against the absolute rights of a father. The Royal Court of Guernsey is called upon to adjudicate. The press, local gossips and her apparent new friends all have their say. Whom can Cecilia trust? And, given the evidence, why should we trust her? Meanwhile, Cecilia's elder daughter confides in her diary ... This is a true story about child custody, patriarchy, love and treachery - with reflections on the relationship between history and fiction. |
