Book excerpt: An un-named baby girl is born in France but is relocated to England with her parents when they flee, because they are being persecuted for their religious beliefs. Although she is not given a name, and is referred to as "the woman", we discover later in the novel that her name is Roxana. Roxana grows up in England but at the age of fifteen marries a man who is a narcissist, making him a very bad husband. Together they have five children, whom Roxana struggles to raise whilst her husband blows through their fortune. Roxana is penniless and goes to his family to ask for help, but with the exception of an old aunt, his family refuse her. Roxana's maid Amy also sticks by her, and offers to remain in her service even though there is no money to pay her. When Roxana had money she was generous and benevolent to those who were not so lucky, and now that their situations are reversed, they also pitch in to help. They pay a visit to her husband's family and manage to extract some money from them for Roxana. Roxana's five children go to live with the old aunt.
