Produktbeschreibung

The coverup of a murder leads to the search for the dead man's heiress decades later in this delightful 3 part novel by Mary Jane Holmes. Her characters are as always very interesting and realistic. Poor little Bessie is raised in poverty because her mother spends most of her time at the gaming tables of Monte Carlo or Baden Baden while her so called aristocratic father looks down on all menial work. Her wealthy relatives will do nothing to help. Add the love of three men for one girl to the mix and the result is an absorbing historical romance.

Autorenporträt

American novelist Mary Jane Holmes is well known for her widely read novels and short tales from the 19th century. She was raised in a low-income household and was born in Brookfield, Massachusetts, in 1825. Her work was renowned for its emotional and romantic tone and often addressed issues of love, family, and social status. In her lifetime, she wrote more than 60 books, demonstrating her prodigious talent. Despite Holmes' writing being well-liked during her lifetime, it went out of favor in the years after her death in 1907. Scholars and readers alike, who value her contributions to the romance novel genre and her insights into 19th-century American life and society, have lately shown a renewed interest in her work.
