Synopsis
A chance encounter with danger at the Pool of St Branok caused lovely Angelet to look upon her dashing cousin Benedict with more than cousinly affection. And in the lawless goldfields of Australia, forced into a loveless marriage, Angelet found Benedict--and knew her heart would always be his. HC: Putnam's.

From Publishers Weekly
Carr, aka Victoria Holt, employs her storytelling prowess in an entertaining historical romance that moves between Victorian England and Australia. The tale is long and complicated, but attention is held as Angelet, daughter of Annora and Rolf of Midsummer's Eve, begins to enter adulthood. One incident marks her indelibly. At the superstition-laden pool of St. Branok in Cornwall, she is saved from a rapist by Ben, a young family connection on a visit from Australia. When she and Ben dispose of the attacker's body in the pool, their bond is strengthened. Ben returns to Australia in pursuit of gold; Angelet debuts in London and marries a charming scapegrace, a gambler who will eventually take her to Australia in pursuit of a fortune. There the stage is set for Angelet, by now a widow, and Ben, a putative widower. Doubleday Book Club selection; Literary Guild alternate.

From Library Journal
At the age of nine Angelet Hanson, granddaughter of Jake Cadorson ( The Return of the Gypsy), meets Benedict Landson, and subsequent encounters and a shared misadventure assure a lifelong mutual attraction. Lest the course of true love run too smoothly, however, an inevitable series of complications arise: prolonged separation, treks to Australian goldfields, marriages for both parties, etc. These are at last resolved in the anticipated, if not wholly satisfactory manner. Transparent plot devices and tenuous connections serve to hold the story line togther, but such weaknesses will scarcely discourage the author's legion of fans. Literary Guild alternate; Doubleday Book Club main selection. Judith Gifford, Salve Regina Coll. Lib., Newport, R.I.
