Description
THE CORNISH WOMAN …..
Orphaned by shipwreck in 1890 and unaware of her true parents, Rosena Bray is brought up by Cornish fisher-folk. As a child, she witnesses a fairground incident that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
By the time she is in her twenties, the Great War is raging and she works at a convalescent home for wounded soldiers. Here she finds romance with the enigmatic, pious Welshman Gareth Williams, to whom she surrenders her virginity in the belief that he will marry her. But war intervenes and she is lured into an elopement. The story swings from Cornwall to the Flanders trenches, from the sheep ranges of Australia to the Solway Firth, and Rosena finds herself trapped in a whirlpool of murder, kidnap and duplicity, where nothing is as it seems.
Rosena Bray is a beautiful, impetuous heroine. In this saga, fate hurls her between the men in her life with every manner of complication A wonderful, dramatic story set during and after the Great War.
