Meer over het boek
The story begins with Harry Clifton and his wife Emma rushing to the hospital to discover the fate of their son Sebastian after a tragic car accident. The uncertainty looms: did Sebastian survive, or was it his best friend Bruno who perished? As the plot unfolds, Emma seeks to replace Ross Buchanan as chairman of Barrington Shipping, but Don Pedro Martinez has other plans, aiming to install Major Alex Fisher as a puppet to undermine the Barrington family just as they prepare to launch the MV Buckingham. Meanwhile, their adopted daughter Jessica earns a scholarship to the Slade Academy of Art, where she falls for fellow student Clive Bingham, who proposes marriage. The families are thrilled until Priscilla Bingham, Jessica's future mother-in-law, is influenced by Lady Virginia Fenwick, who sows discord. Additionally, the unexpected arrival of Cedric Hardcastle, a Yorkshireman, disrupts the Barrington board, leading to unforeseen consequences for both the Clifton and Barrington families. Hardcastle's pivotal decision on who to support for the chairmanship—Emma or Major Fisher—sets the stage for dramatic twists and turns that will keep readers captivated.
