Synopsis
Excerpt from The Reproach of Annesley, Vol. 3 of 3
All the eight bells in the church steeple were pealing down in joyous tumult through the sun-gilt smoke canopy which was spread above the slate roofs of Medington one mild November afternoon the streets of that quiet little town were filled with an unwonted life and stir, thickest and most turbulent in the vicinity of the town-hall, the open space in front of which was black with human beings. It is curious that. Crowds, no matter of what they may be composed, always are black; it is curious, too, that human faces in the mass are always of one tint, a very pale bronze without the faintest Shade of pink; probably no one ever saw a crowd blush or turn pale, yet these truly awful phenomena must some times occur.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating period drama about the life and loves of Gervase Rickman as he steps into the political arena to become a Member of Parliament and the struggles he encounters as his personal and political life collide. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, the author gives readers an intimate view of the interplay between politics and personal relationships. Initially garnering support for his Liberal views, Gervase leans on the counsel of a former cabinet minister and members of high society to establish himself in his new role. As he rises through the ranks, his political aspirations start to clash with the expectations of his family and the desires of his own heart. Sibyl, his sister, emerges as a brilliant and outspoken figure in her own right, captivating the attention of another man who must grapple with the complexities of love and social class. The author skillfully weaves together themes of ambition, love, and the sacrifices we must sometimes make to follow our dreams. This evocative and thought-provoking tale explores the complexities of Victorian politics and society, presenting a rich and vivid portrait of an era where personal desires often had to be suppressed for the sake of duty and reputation.
