This is a fantastic opening. The childhood scene with the ring pulled me in immediately, and then the shift into Esme s home life added so much depth to the world. The detail about sweeping the floor as dignity was such a powerful bit of characterization. I’m very curious about the ring and the Wentworth name now.
really opens the story, and strokes your curiosity
