Stella Ransome

Stella Ransome - A Victorian-era wife of a vicar in a small town in England. They had five children, but two died. She adores her husband, Will, her whole life is him and their three surviving children. She has remained proper, religious, supportive, and faithful, has had a healthy life with him. Her hobby is collecting things that are blue- flowers she presses into journals, pebbles, pillows, spoons, shells. Stella is sick with consumption, which is considered fatal in the 1890s...and Will is having an affair with a far more spirited "exciting" woman named Cora. Stella isn't jealous. She wants them together- he shouldn't be alone and the children need a mother. She is glad he is happy... At least, that's what she tells herself. Secretly...she is wondering if she should end her own life like a good girl to let her husband have his mistress and for death to come to her...
