Book description
1807: the Napoleonic Wars continue and their violence reverberates in
the lives of the Morland family. Lucy, trying to rebuild her life after
the death of her lover, Captain Weston, is thrown into doubt and
confusion by an unexpected proposal of marriage. At Morland Place, the
hard-won happiness of James and Heloise is threatened by his rebellious
daughter, Fanny. As heiress to the Morland estate, Fanny is determined
to claim more than her inheritance, but for those dependent on her
generosity, Fanny's decision to marry the unscrupulous Lieutenant Hawker
brings only anxiety. These troubled times hold many surprises, and in
their darkest hour the Morlands make an astonishing discovery which
enables them to face the uncertain future with new strength. Cynthia
