A romantic historical novel in two parts, covering two
generations, recreating a bygone age of gypsies, landed estates,
smugglers and highway robbers. The age is resuscitated with convincing
dramatic tension—from the intrigue and shady dealings of a country
estate to the theatrical, sophisticated yet sometimes bawdy life of
London.
Book Description
This is a compelling read that takes the reader back to a bygone age
which, however, is resuscitated with convincing dramatic tension—from
the intrigue and shady dealings of a country estate to the theatrical,
sophisticated yet sometimes bawdy life of London.
