The Palace Beautiful

A month after your mother's sudden death, the Rosebury cottage still held three sisters who had admitted no visitor. If I sleep, I dream she has returned; if I stay awake, morning finds me no nearer believing it. You step into this one-chapter preview with Jasmine Mainwaring at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. The tea cooled as the future of the cottage waited to be counted. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
