Description du livre
The second novel in Stirling's historical saga brings to light yet more dark secrets, amorous entanglements and murder...
Elspeth and Anna Patterson of Balnesmoor have both married well: Elspeth to a wealthy wool merchant, Anna to the son of a respected factor. But they are far from happy. The two married sisters, leading oddly parallel lives, find themselves entangled in a web of infidelity, scandal, and heartache in the midst of Wellington's Peninsular War on the continent.
The story continues in Hearts of Gold.
