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
