Riassunto

Set in London's East End in the early part of the century, FRANKIE'S MANOR follows the fortunes of 19-year-old Rose Kenedy whose young life reflects the hope and promise of the country as a new king succeeds the throne. But as Rose looks forward to an exciting future, her loyalties are torn, as the allegiance of the two men she loves most in the world are to opposing sides of the law. Frankie Buchannon's name is one that 'could send shivers of fear through a man', but Rose is his Achilles' heel and, without question, he would lay down his life for her. Rose's childhood sweetheart Jack Adams, meanwhile, has followed in the footsteps of his late father and is a young constable dedicated to protecting the streets of Hackney. But events in Rose and Jack's life take an unexpected turn, and Rose finds herself alone and heartbroken. When her life - and that of her unborn baby - are threatened, Frankie steps in and together they forge a new life, legitimising both Rose's child and Frankie's hugely successful business. However, Rose's attempts to protect Frankie from his past go wrong, and after a tragic accident Frankie stands wrongly accused of murder.

Recensione:

This is not a run of the mill light romance and neither is the plot predictable. The writing has an immediacy and vivrancy that kept me turning the pages and it all seemed eminently believable. A thoroughly good read (HISTORICAL NOVEL REVIEW)
