Book
Growing up at Shrigley Hall as the loving daughter to doting parents, 16-year-old Ellen Turner is the last girl one would expect to elope with a stranger. Yet when Ellen vanishes from her boarding school in Liverpool in the arms of the rugged scoundrel Edward Wakefield, and the pair are sighted together in a carriage racing from Gretna Green to the Port of Dover, everyone from her classmates to her childhood sweetheart Thomas Legh to her own family is forced to question her motives for such a wild transgression. When the newlyweds at last appear in court, with Thomas as magistrate, the rumours fly out of control. He says she planned the whole scandal. She says she had no choice. Who will society believe?
