AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Behind a simple death notice lies the story of the intertwining of two young lives, and the damage caused by ambition and pride. As the famous Henry Greatorex sits by his dying wife's bedside, he has much cause for regret as he reflects upon her faithfulness to him, despite his callous disregard and contempt for her as he rose from penury and obscurity to riches and fame.
