Meanwhile Stella feels trapped by motherhood and domesticity and longs to soar like her wealthy friend Elsie. Her sister Corran appears to be immersed her academic career but her secrets are beginning to unravel, while their mother Alison sets off on a Mediterranean cruise with unexpected consequences. Their hopes and dreams intertwine with Elsie’s remarkable story in The Endeavour of Elsie Mackay.
