When England was trembling at the rumour that the Iron Duke had been defeated at Waterloo, Sam Carboy didn't believe it, and bought in the falling market laying the foundations of what became the greatest fortune in England. With this security, he dared to oust his partner, split the firm, and start out on his own, The enmity engendered coloured the lives of both families for three generations, as fortunes rose and fell. And in this charting of England's course lies the background of the best part of the story. Superimposed, but never quite melded with it, is the (largely true) story of the Tontine, the great Waterloo Tontine, a gambling on survival that gradually narrowed down over sixty years and more until only three survivors were left. Classic historical fiction.
