Hester Roon was the bastard daughter of the scullery maid at the Fleece Inn, and a serving girl herself--until her master commanded her presence in his chambers. To escape from him, she ran away and joined London's sprawling underworld--until she was caught, cruelly convicted and transported to a strange, slave-run sugar plantation in the West Indies. There she found the only man who dared to challenge her wild, untamed spirit. . .

Scent of Cloves

0.0 (0)

This novel is set in Indonesia in the seventeenth century, and it is characterized by the author's remarkable power to convey place and period. The heroine, Julie Ashley loses her family and her identity when Cromwell ravages Ireland and she is rescued from starvation by a Dutch sea captain. From Amsterdam she is eventually sent to an island in the East Indies as a partner in a 'Glove Marriage', bound irrevocably to a man she has never seen. In the mysterious island of Rua, with its luxury and cruelty, even her virtues are brought into conflict, and for the reader, the outcome remains uncertain until the end.
