Beyond her estates in the comfort and familiarity of rural Hampshire, Jane Dunhaughton knows little of life. How little, she discovers upon leaving her ailing father because, wary of the violence of the suffragettes, she seeks a worthy meaning to her life in humanitarian work in the Boer War, instead.How could she suspect her world would change once Kitchener's policy of concentration camps takes her to the heart of the darkest side of human conflict? Can a daughter of privilege, to whom London was a revelation, find any steel when the plight of Boer women and children leaves her helpless with horror, none of which will be a revelation to the British public if Kitchener has his way?Steel she will need when her father's death puts her in the pocket of the man who inherits her home - after the war has ended, has Lord Kitchener finished with Jane Dunhaughton?
