What do the living owe to the dead? In “Memory’s Bride,” spinster Claire Burton casts off her claustrophobic existence in her parents’ conventional home and embraces a new life in the remote Welsh foothills.
There, she devotes herself to preserving the memory of the man she had hoped to marry, a popular Victorian novelist whose death made her a wealthy woman. But her scandalous inheritance chains her to the past and isolates her. Even her family casts her off.
