More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Until her father died, Adela Carstairs had lived in a secure and loving home. Then happiness was shattered when her mother remarries a cruel, hard-drinking man. With her younger brother and sister, Adela is forced to flee his drunken rages and they escape to London where they seek refuge in the squalor of the back streets. Addie's desperate hope is that her childhood companions, the Mallory twins, will find and rescue them. When all three find themselves caught up in the danger and terror of revolutionary France, the twins prove invaluable. It was to be an experience which would test their friendship, and love, to the limit. AUTHBIO: Claire Lorrimer began writing at the age of ten, encouraged by her mother who was also an author. Her post on the editorial team of a woman's magazine gave her a unique insight into the world of publishing, but it was during the Second World War that her writing career became established. She produced romantic short stories and serials for Woman's Illustrated and later penned some sixty light romantic novels. Although her first love was children's books, she could not find a publisher for her work and turned to historical fiction. These historical novels are characterised by meticulous detail and feeling for the period, often highlighting the situation of women. Claire Lorrimer lives in rural Kent, and still writes stories and plays for her friends and grandchildren.
