Excellent- More about Trust: The Anatomy of a Marriage
During the English Civil War, Dorothy Osborne, a Royalist, and William Temple, a Cromwell supporter, started a seven-year courtship despite family opposition.

Format: Paperback / softback

Dorothy Osborne, the daughter of a staunch Royalist, crossed paths with William Temple, whose father held a favorable opinion of Oliver Cromwell, nearing the conclusion of the English Civil War. Despite facing fierce opposition from both families, the couple embarked on a seven-year courtship, primarily conducted through letters, many of which are now housed in the British Library. Eventually, they tied the knot, and William went on to secure a place in history as a distinguished diplomat and talented essayist. However, alongside his worldly achievements, there existed a private tragedy that deeply impacted his life.
"Trust" is a novel that delves into the intricate dynamics within the Temple household, presented from two distinct female perspectives. Despite his reputation as a diplomat of integrity and honor, Temple was a man of his time, influenced by the societal norms and customs of the era. Rumors circulated that he was the father of Esther Johnson, his housekeeper's daughter, and the inspiration behind Jonathan Swift's character "Stella."
The marriage of Dorothy Osborne and William Temple has been celebrated as a remarkable love story throughout history. Rita Dallass's research suggests that there may be hidden depths to their relationship. "Trust" blends fact and fiction to pose a thought-provoking question: "What if?" Through its exploration of the complexities within the Temple household, the novel offers a fresh perspective on this iconic couple, challenging our understanding of their lives and relationships.
