Genre: Fiction, Historical
A Marriage of Convenience
A majestic Victorian tale… Wealthy lawyer Esmond, discarded illegitimate son of a peer, has pinched his way to the top of his profession, while his handsome, debt-ridden cavalry officer brother Clinton has inherited the title and the ancestral home. Beautiful actress Theresa, a widow, a fierce free spirit with a sinewy wit, is the woman both will love.
Carnforth’s Creation
Recreates the frenetic Britain of the 1960s for an enthralling tale of three people bound together by a risky experiment conducted amid the pop-cultural ferment of the era. Paul Carnforth is young, wealthy, titled, and alive to the opportunities of his times. ‘You don’t have to like pop to find it interesting’, he tells his skeptical wife. He decides to fashion a pop star of his own – as a ‘moral swipe’, also proof of his individual brilliance. But the creation soon threatens to outgrow his creator.
Cushing’s Crusade
Derek Cushing – thirtyish, balding, unassuming archivist/researcher into European expansion in East Africa – is also the son of Gilbert, father of Giles, and husband of Diana. On the last count, though, he has begun to fear that he is wearing cuckold’s horns. His plan for addressing the crisis leads him to take his wife, son and ageing father to stay at the Cornish mansion of the smooth-talking gallery owner he believes to be his wife’s lover. But this, at least, is a place where disputes may be brought to a head.
Deep Water
It is 1941. Only child Leo invites school friend Justin to stay the summer on the western tip of Cornwall. Addicted to adventure tales, one night they swim out to investigate a supposed ‘spy ship’ moored off the coast. The outcome is unnerving for the boys but momentous for Leo’s mother Andrea, bringing her into contact with Lieutenant Commander Mike Harrington.
For Love or Money
It is the story of temporary gentleman George, who lives as a kept man with Ruth, the older woman he stole from a wealthy peer, but whose relatively comfortable country life is threatened by his difficult relations with Ruth’s two sons.
The Missionary’s Wife
Tim Jeal expertly evoked Africa in the 1890s: a continent in turmoil as a horde of prospectors, hunters and missionaries scramble after gold, ivory, and converts. Young Englishwoman Clara Musson, though, travels with a different purpose. Jilted in love, doubting her Christian faith, she hoped to find renewed meaning as the wife of charismatic missionary Robert Haslam. What she finds is an obsessive zeal that will provoke a civil war.
