After being banished from London for her scandalous behaviour, main character Eleanor Wentworth is sent to Victoria. It is here that Eleanor meets Matthew Baillie Begbie, BC’s first chief justice and an eligible bachelor. Horsdal’s story follows these individuals through adventure and scandal in this formative period in Victoria’s history.  =0D=0A=

The Maritime Museum’s Book Club will discuss Horsdal’s book and the questions about class, gender, and cultural politics that it raises. It will also celebrate 2014 as the 125th anniversary of the BC Supreme Courthouse building, Begbie’s former workplace and the current location of the Maritime Museum of BC.=0D=0A=
