   Summary

   "I do not possess wickedness in me," Francesca declared.

   "Do you have no desire beyond marriage and children?"

   Was that how Michaela saw her? As a simple woman needing a child to give her purpose? A child and no joy.

    

   or: Francesca finds a scandalous book in the Kilmartin library, and it does very little to help her understand intimacy with John.
