Summary
Independent-minded Sibylla Spencer feels trapped in 19th-century London, where her strong will and progressive views have rendered her unmarriageable. Still single at 23, she is treated like a child and feels stifled in her controlling father's house.
When Benjamin Hopkins, an ambitious employee of her father's trading company, shows an interest in her, she realizes marriage is her only chance to escape. As Benjamin's rising career whisks them both away to exotic Morocco, Sibylla is at last a citizen of the world, reveling in her newfound freedom by striking her first business deals, befriending locals - and falling in love for the first time with a charismatic and handsome Frenchman.
But Benjamin's lust for money and influence draws him into dark dealings, pulling him ever further from Sibylla and their two young sons. When he's arrested on horrible charges, the fate of Sibylla's family rests on her shoulders, as she must decide whether she'll leave him to his fate or help him fight for his life.

Just brilliant..
I was totally absorbed in this story from start to finish. Wonderfully narrated, yes, some of it a little predictable but the love stories within it seemed genuine and somewhat relatable to modern day life (i.e. never straightforward with hurdles to overcome). Would recommend if you like to immerse yourself in an unknown culture and follow a strong female protagonist in action!

Not super
I am a big fan of historical romances and don’t need a huge amount to keep me interested, however, this was a long hard slog of a listen. Had to keep going as it was for book club (which then got cancelled, meaning I suffered through for naught). Under developed characters, typical Mary-sue wrapped in a layer of white saviour. Huge time jumps that made it feel like the author needed to skip ahead because they were bored too. Any accent other than the narrators own is terrible. The only thing that made it mildly interesting was that I could tell the writer has done a lot of research into the areas, not that I’m interested enough to do any fact checking, but at least there was good background.
