"A Catch of Consequence"

Okay, this is what I call review, synopsis, criticism in a nutshell. An American-history version of a Star Plus soap opera written by Diana Norman. She's poor and unkempt, runs the local Bostonian tavern at the time of American independence, saves the rich English redcoat from drowning, they marry, his ex-wife kills him in order to get hold of all the estate, the heroine is now in a dilemma, carrying the English guy's baby, stranded in the middle of London, lives in shambles for a while, until opportunity knocks at the door again, she finds herself face-to-face with a chance to avenge her husband's death, her life in the gutter and earn back millions.

And wouldn't anyone be surprised. She does.
