As soon as the internet was invented practically my first thought was "cool now I can find Beggar on Horseback again." So an historical romance in the old style. No explicite love scenes. Very well written. Beautiful feel for the times with characters true to their period not just modern people dropped into a carriage and a long dress. The hero is an honorable man almost destroyed by his circumstances who wins an estate in a game of chance. He basically just wants to go there and rest. Once there, he falls in love with a potrait of Dorothea the previous owner's sister. He sets out to discover what has happened to her. A beautiful romance full of emotion and self sacrifice with a slightly bittersweet but ultimately fulfilling happy ending. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Meanwhile, the callow and sulky David falls in love with an earl's daughter who is betrothed to a scoundrel. David can't save her from her fate because his lack of money means he can't marry.
Much melodrama! I liked it. ( )
