## Snapshot

A spirited young woman caught in the Charlecote affair, Hilda Crowland is the kind of witness who notices more than she is supposed to.

## Who they are

She moves through the Charlecote circle with the frankness of youth and the sharpness of someone who has learned to read a room. Where the men quarrel over money and reputation, Hilda sees the human cost—and is not always careful about saying so. Her presence gives the case its emotional stakes: the question of who gets hurt when a family's pride turns to violence.
