This Beneath The Sky
a Novel
by Roberta Hughes Wright


This Beneath The Sky, a romantic, historical novel, is exciting, vexatious and titillating. The primary characters are Nelson Morris and George Hatter, close friends who grew up in the late 1800s in Victorian Britain.

Nelson's family was wealthy and had survived the effects of England's political and social changes. George's family fortune had declined dramatically because of an agriculture depression. Both families were affected by the highly infectious diseases prevalent in London at that time.

After much deliberation, Nelson and his father and George and his father left the 19th century English life and moved to Madagascar, a mystical, magical, mysterious island "at the bottom of the world".

The author has provided the readers with authentic descriptions of the native population, of the strange monkey-like lemurs, of the masses of flowers and the rain forests, of the ancient villages and bridges and moats, of the sitting Royalty and local politicians .

Complex and exciting are the lives of Nelson and George and their loves and lust and the beauty of Margrette, of the interval in Paris and the devastating scenes of Sarah, and her escort Gaston at Club LeGai. The flashbacks to Senegal, Africa and Paris, France will be a great surprise for the readers.

Read about the child who was alternately loved and unloved but who learned to be a man when he was introduced to the awesome beauty of Isle Ste Marie. and to the teaching of Masu, his uncle. Join us for the adventure.

 

List Price: $18.00
