Sinopsis

Dorothy Osborne, the daughter of a staunch Royalist, met William Temple, whose father favoured Oliver Cromwell, towards the end of the English Civil War. Despite strong opposition from both families, the couple embarked on a seven-year courtship, mostly through letters - many now found in the British Library. When they eventually married, William went on to achieve a place in history as a diplomat and gifted essayist. But along with worldly success there was private tragedy.áTold from two female perspectives, âÇÖTrustâÇÖ explores the complicated relationships within the Temple household. Despite being a diplomat of integrity and honour, Temple was a man of his times. There were rumours that he was the father of Esther Johnson, his housekeeperâÇÖs daughter (and Jonathan SwiftâÇÖs âÇÖStellaâÇÖ).ááThe marriage of Dorothy Osborne and William Temple has gone down through history as a celebrated love story. Rita DallasâÇÖs research suggests there may have been darker aspects.áIn a blend of fact and fiction, âÇÖTrustâÇÖ poses the question: 'What if?'
