1721, and elderly Catherine Yale discovers that second husband Elihu’s will has left her no bequest except the slur of branding her a 'wicked wife.' True, her private journals are filled with intimacies: her inner thoughts about life in Old Madras, where the East India Company’s intrigues are as complex as any in the Mughal Emperor’s court; and the espionage she has undertaken, despite the danger into which it has thrust both herself and her children.
