    <![CDATA[Autumn 1928. The <em>Kaiser-i-Hind</em> is en route to Bombay. In Cabin D38, Viva Hollowat, an inexperienced chaperone, is worried she's made a terrible mistake. Her advert in <em>The Lady</em> has resulted in three unsettling charges to be escorted to India.<br/><br/>Rose, a beautiful, dangerously naive English girl, is about to be married to the cavalry officer she has met only a handful of times.<br/>Vicotira, the bridesmaid, is determined to lose her virginity on the journey before finding a husband of her own in India. And overshadowing all three of them, the malevolent presence of Guy Glover, a strange and disturbed schoolboy.<br/><br/>Three potential Memsahibs with a myriad of reasons for leavign England, bu the cargo of hopes and secrets they carry has done little to prepare them for what lies ahead.<br/><br/>From the parties of the wealthy Bombay socialites to the poverty of the orphans on Tamarind Street, <em>East of the Sun</em> is everything a historical novel should be: alive with florious detail, fascinating characters and masterful storytelling.]]>

    <![CDATA[Catherine Carreg has grown up a tomboy, spending her days racing her ponies with Deio, the drover's son, in a small Welsh village.  When tragedy strikes her family, it affects Catherine deeply; she determines to become a nurse, in spite of the plans her father has made for her. With Deio's help, she disguises herself as a boy and makes her way to London.    Catherine finds a position in a rest home for sick governesses in Harley Street, run by Miss Nightingale.  When Russells's despatches from Scutari shock the Secretary for War into sending nurses to the Crimea, Catherine volunteers.    The night before she leaves, she meets Deio in Hyde Park to tell him of her plans. Deio is furious with Catherine's 'unnatural ambitions', yet determines to follow her, shipping his beloved horses out for sale to the British army.    Arriving in Scutari, Catherine is pitched into a living nightmare. The conditions are appalling, typhus is rife and the doctors are on the verge of insanity.  As male paranoia takes hold, the nurses are confined to their quarters, forced to watch the arrival of wounded and dying soldiers but forbidden from helping them.      When casualties from Balaclava begin to arrive, the women decide to ignore orders and begin nursing the sick and injured. Battling incompetence, lack of supplies and disease, Catherine must  grow up quickly and painfully against traumatic events that will shape history.    THE WATER HORSE is a vivid and compelling saga, bringing to life the true story of a young woman who ran away to nurse in the Crimea.]]>
