Life is over for Louisa Bryson. It has been a year since David-her fiance, from whom she had been inseparable since childhood-was killed in a tragic accident, only days before their wedding. She is still inconsolable and resigned to a life of mourning her one and only love. Two men, one of them her fiance's brother, the other a stranger with an unusual past, both yearn to rescue Louisa from her torment but know they must tread carefully if they are to succeed.
Set in the English countryside of the early 1800s during the turbulent period of the Battle of Waterloo, Jane Dawkins, author of two acclaimed continuations of Pride and Prejudice, recounts Louisa's struggles to come to terms with life in this tale of love, heartbreak and redemption.
This is one of the best historical romances I have read in a while... a bright and shining example among the best... Ms Dawkins has created a memorable and special tale... a timeless piece...
