"Fans of Joanna Trollope, rejoice," said the Seattle Times about the first Caroline Harvey novel, The Brass Dolphin. Now the author of Marrying the Mistress again takes us to another age, when the world seemed so different -but the world of the heart contained the same passions and paradoxes we face today…In Victorian England, young Charlotte yearns for something beyond drawing-room daffodils and marries a soldier to satisfy her wanderlust -then finds her subsequent travels a more terrifying experience than she'd dreamed. Two generations later, Charlotte's granddaughter Alexandra finds her own romance with a reclusive artist. And as the second World War casts its gloomy shadow over England, Alexandra's daughter -as hungry for adventure as her Victorian great-grandmother was -is forced to stay on the family farm and find an unexpected route to fulfillment. This powerful saga of three generations of women from one of today's most acclaimed authors reminds us once again of the futility of our best-laid plans -and the absolute necessity of our dreams.Trollope, Joanna is the author of 'Legacy of Love' with ISBN 9780425181492 and ISBN 0425181499.
