The Love Knot

An intriguing, romantic bestseller about the Victorian politics of love and marriage which follows the fortunes of three very different young women. Beautiful Leonie, brought up by foster parents, receives a surprise from her wealthy godmother and is sent to work at a private nursing home. Dorinda sails from France without her wastrel husband and becomes a celebrated member of London's demimonde; and Mercy is saved from social ignominy by an older man with whom she falls passionately in love. The love knots that they all face in their relationships finally unravel, but not before hearts have been broken, and scandals risked.
