Book description
In the last years of the nineteenth century the Morlands' fortunes are
changing for the better, as Henrietta and Jerome find a true home at
Morland Place, and Teddy ploughs his profits into restoring it to its
former glory. But the reverses and cruelties of the Boer War and the
death of Queen Victoria shake the foundations of a confident nation. The
accession of King Edward seems to mark the end of the old, familiar
England. Old certainties are being questioned, everything is changing,
and the young generation of Morlands faces a new world, full of wonders
but full of dangers. Cynthia Harrod-Eagles is the author of the
contemporary Bill Slider Mystery series as well as the Morland Dynasty
novels. Her passions are music, wine, horses, architecture and the
English countryside.
