An Independent Heart Paperback / softback

Description

It is February 1814. Claire Lammond is in London on a family visit. The British army has crossed the Nivelle. Justin Sumners is recalled to England. They meet on the ice of the frozen Thames: two strong, engaging characters whose relationship unfolds against a richly evocative historical background.

The story is full of atmospheric description, witty dialogue, and intriguing characters: the independent young woman, the returning soldier, the ambitious upstart using his sister as pawn, the wary children of a violent marriage, the unhappy young man in love with his cousin, the feudal lord clinging to old values ...

At its core are family ties: between husband and wife, son and father, children and parents, siblings and cousins, all tested and strained by the demands of politics, love, and duty.
