Claire Lorrimer creëert epische historische romans die zich richten op het leven van gepassioneerde, opvallende heldinnen tegen rijk gedetailleerde achtergronden. Haar werk belicht vaak de maatschappelijke positie van vrouwen in verschillende tijdperken. Lorrimers schrijverscarrière kreeg momentum tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, wat ertoe leidde dat ze zich specialiseerde in historische fictie, een pad dat werd beïnvloed door haar vroege ervaringen in de tijdschriftuitgeverij. Haar romans bieden lezers meeslepende verhalen die zowel de geschiedenis als de kracht van vrouwelijke protagonisten benadrukken.
Chantal is a passionate and loyal young woman adored by three men who risk everything for her love. As she navigates the glamorous world of aristocratic London, her spirited nature leads her into a whirlwind of adventure, scandal, and ecstasy across various exotic locations.
Although born into the British aristocracy, the Honourable Sophia Lucienne Rochford was raised in obscurity first in a French convent and then in a Parisian brothel. Like a wilderling—a cultivated flower that manages to live in the wild—Lucy has survived her terrible early years in France. At sixteen, she is restored to her rightful place as the daughter of the Rochford family in Edwardian England, but a devastating betrayal by her father fires her determination to seek wealth and independence at any cost. She learns the ways of society and ignoring the existence of love and she succeeds in her aim. She catches the eye of the handsome and noble Count Alexis Zemski, who swears his love and agrees to marry Lucy even after learning of her past. As World War I shatters Europe, Lucy begins to learn what life and love are all about... but makes many tragic mistakes before she comes to terms with her true self. Earthy, cruel and beautifully told, this is the gripping sequel to The Chatelaine.
A powerful and moving tale of lust, lies, deceit and intrigue that has gripped readers' imaginations for more than 30 years.
