The ancient market town of Romford has developed out of all recognition. Once a quiet country town which mainly came alive on market days it is now a busy shopping centre with dozens of coffee shops & restaurants.

At its heart is Romola the devoted daughter of a blind scholar married to the clever but ultimately treacherous Tito whose duplicity in both love and politics threatens to destroy everything she values and she must break away to find her own path in life. Described by Eliot as written with my best blood' the story of Romola's intellectual and spiritual awakening is a compelling portrayal of a Utopian heroine played out against a turbulent historical backdrop.
