Why this must be read:

This is my favourite backstory in the due South fandom. In canon Martha and George Fraser, Benton Fraser's grandparents, are only mentioned a few times in passing to explain some of his more obscure knowledge/behaviours. But here luzula fleshes out a version of them based on these few informations, that I can identify with and want to read more about.

Martha is a young woman who ran away from home to study at a teacher's college in Toronto in 1921. She is thirsty for knowledge and wants to experience more than the little village and the life as a farmer's wife and mother.

There's also a wonderful female character of colour, Yinmui, who befriends Martha.

The story is also available as a podfic by kalakirya.
