Description: It is the seventeenth century and a wall is being raised around Wychwood, transforming the great house and its park into a private realm. In this enclosed world everyone has something to hide after decades of civil war. Three centuries later, the family's modern secrets cannot hide from the press, and young Nell grows up surrounded by conflict, with years of history playing a part.
