What began as an innocent response to an advertisement in The Times newspaper in 1859, turned out to be the beginning of a long drawn out nightmare for Lizzy as she moved from housekeeper to become wife of a London newspaper editor.
Lizzy found her life unravelling with her nefarious husband to the point where she engaged the services of a private enquiry agent to discover exactly what her husband was doing.
What the tenacious detective uncovered set Lizzy on a collision course with her erring husband who beat her remorselessly for what he considered her impudence and treachery.
A dramatic turn of events however sets Lizzy free, paving the way for a life of industrious tranquility with her new lover.
