About This Book

The narrative traces the tangled relations around the Harrington family as secrets, misunderstandings, and hidden identities surface. Romantic attachments and jealousies interweave with stolen journals, a missing book, and a vellum record that prompt confessions and moral struggle. Travel to Spain introduces aristocratic intrigue, a public procession, and encounters with gipsies and a Spanish nobleman that deepen complications. Subplots involve a slave and her master, a maniac, and a scheming mother, all converging toward revelations about Lina's past, General Harrington's secret, and reckonings between siblings, lovers, and a repentant older generation.
