The Homecoming is the 24th novel in Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' Dynasty series, chronicling the life and times of the Morland Family. In this latest instalment, the family's fortunes are precariously balanced. The book opens with the story of Henrietta Morland, recently widowed by the death of Rector Edgar Fortescue, who "had been dead 20 months on that September day in 1885 when Jerome Compton suddenly reappeared in her life". In language that recalls Jane Austen, Harrod-Eagles observes that
"when Henrietta stepped joyfully into the arms of her one true love in the churchyard of St Mary's, Bishop Winthorne, it was like the ending of a fairy story. It ought to have been followed by nothing but those magical words, 'and they all lived happily ever after'. But life--and love--are rarely disposed to be so tidy".The Homecoming follows Henrietta as she moves with her new husband and young daughter Lizzie to the social whirl of late 19th-century London, leaving behind her stolid brother Teddy Morland to struggle with the crumbling Morland Estate. Events in London soon overtake everyone, but disaster and exile can often lead to salvation and a homecoming of sorts. Harrod-Eagles describes the characters and background of her stories with effortless ease, and The Homecoming will delight all her dedicated readers. --Jerry Brotton --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.
Product Description
In the Morland Dynasty series, the majestic sweep of English history is richly and movingly portrayed through the fictional lives of the Morland family. It is 1885, and with the death of her rector husband, Henrietta is finally free to marry her love, the wealthy and handsome Jerome Compton. But Victorian propriety disapproves of Jerome’s divorced status, and the couple are forced to seek anonymity in London. Henrietta finds she takes to urban life with great enjoyment, and she meets and becomes close to her cousin, Lady Venetia. Initially shunned for pursuing her medical career, Venetia is now a respected doctor, while her marriage to “Beauty” Hazelmere has redeemed her socially, and she finds herself drawn into the elite circle of Bertie, Prince of Wales. But while the cousins both thrive, storm clouds are gathering, and one of them will be forced out of society and into exile.
