On the island of Jersey in the 1780s, young Guida Landresse is loved by the steady Ranulph Delagarde and by the dashing naval officer Philip d’Avranche. A French attempt on the Channel Islands, a secret marriage and the upheavals of the Revolution carry the story from island lanes to the courts of France over many years.
Written, Parker said, as a deliberate break from his Canadian tales, and rich in Channel Islands colour and divided loyalties. Download the free EPUB.
