Kew Gardens, 1771. Four women – the first is Daisy, a talented orphaned botanical painter and scientist, newly arrived in London from Suffolk. The second is Fanny, her sister, locked in a loveless marriage with an oafish nobleman. The third, Kate, is an enslaved black lady’s maid. The fourth, Charlotte, Queen of England, uncomplaining but confined to a life bearing King George 15 children.
When Daisy meets eminent scientist Joseph Banks and not only becomes Artist in Residence at Kew Gardens, but ‘Lady-in-Painting’ to Queen Charlotte, life changes for everybody. However, whilst expecting a quiet and studious life, Daisy is unwittingly inveigled into espionage, tea smuggling and the ‘triangular trade’ by mysterious Dutchman Johannes Van der Humm.
When a fabulous flower is discovered in South Africa and sent back to Kew for the QueenÂ’s birthday, the women little guess it offers a route to freedom. But only if Daisy can foil a plot to steal it from under the KingÂ’s nose. Who is friend and who is foe? Can she work out whom to trust before disaster strikes?
Set in an incredibly exciting period of history, The Daisy Chain is a pacy debut novel, brimming with adventure and romance.Â
