A 19. század második felének legünnepeltebb brit írója volt Charles Dickens, aki igazi bálványnak számított korában. Nemcsak művei iránt rajongtak az emberek, de felolvasóestjei, közszereplései is esemény- és élményszámba mentek. Dickens élvezte a figyelmet, hogy minden társasági rendezvényen a középpontban lehet, ezért is okozott különösen nagy lelki vívódást számára, amikor szerelemre lobbant egy jóval fiatalabb, ifjú hölgy iránt. A kor Angliájában a válás szóba sem jöhetett, még egy olyan közszereplő számára sem, mint Dickens.

A titokzatos szerető ugyanakkor nem léphetett a nyilvánosság elé, nem mutatkozhatott Dickens-szel az emberek előtt. De vajon a titkolózás nem kezdte ki kettejük hatalmas szerelmét?
