Description

---

Alice Angel has known only a life of restriction and punishments as she strays from the path of Victorian proprietary that her mother has set for her. After a chance encounter with a charming stranger, and a final incident with her family that sees her condemned to the madhouse, Alice sees a chance to run. She escapes to join the Agapemonites in their Abode of Love, where ex-Reverend Henry Prince rules a colony of women as their Beloved. Prince ignites a passion in Alice, and thinks she might be free at last. But as Alice becomes drawn into the strange religious sect, she may in fact be more trapped than ever.
