It''s a couple of years since I read this so I can''t comment on it in detail, except to say that I know I enjoyed it at the time. I''m releasing it now as part of a shelf-clearing exercise.

From the back cover: "Rose Aubrey is one of a family of three sisters and their adored younger brother, Richard Quin. Their father, Piers, is the disgraced son of an Irish landowning family, a violent, noble, improvident and, when it suits his ends, quite unprincipled leader of popular causes. Piers's streak of folly continually threatens his family with financial ruin and social disgrace, tragedies only narrowly averted by their mother, Clare, who becomes their tower of strength."

I hope this finds a new and appreciative reader. Enjoy!

Passed to potterdweeb who'll probably give it to her mum. Enjoy!
