Perchance to Dream
A TIMELESS PASSION Imagine a world in which the South has emerged victorious from the fiery strife of the Civil War. And there is not one nation, but two--bitterly divided, but inexorably drawn together. Imagine a strong-willed beauty who dares to defy Southern propriety. Susannah Fitzgerald, codename "Butterfly," leads a perilous double life as an agent for the Confederacy's most powerful leader... Imagine the one man who sees through her pretense. Rand Cabot, whose golden glance melts Susannah's heart -- and whose covert loyalty to the North puts their passionate love to the ultimate test...
Sixty years of home
"Here is Ursula Bloom writing of home as it was in 1900 and as it is today; of the home of her childhood and the various houses and flats in which she has lived since, to say nothing of other people's houses and flats. With her retentive memory and her sense of atmosphere she makes us see and feel the changes that have taken place. We are there, eating the food, watching the servants, deploring the furniture. The grocer calls for his order and is regaled with his own cooking sherry; tomatoes are 1d a pound; a visiting clergyman is given a map of the house because no one can be so rude as to tell him where 'it' is. Nostalgically, laughing, often critical yet sometimes well content with our own brave new world, we saunter with this popular author through sixty years of home."-- Jacket.
