From the Inside Flap
I was beginning to realize that there was something unusual about our marriage. . . .
King Charles has returned after Cromwell's puritanical rule and England is determined to be merry. The delights of the theatre beckon to young Sarah Standish, whose friendship with a beautiful actress prompts her to run off to become an actress on the London stage.
Full of expectation and delight, she steps into a wonderful, exotic, and dangerous new world. A true innocent, her infatuation with handsome Lord Rosslyn leads to a quick marriage. Only too late does she realize the man she loved and trusted was a practiced schemer and a bigamist.
But it is Sarah's daughter by Lord Rosslyn, Kate, who will become the true pawn of her father's greed and duplicity. The prize is Rosslyn Manor . . . at a time when the fate of England enters the throes of a treacherous new fight for the throne, and Kate must battle for her future as well as her heart. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Don't be fooled . . . not a true Philippa Carr novel,
By tammytaylor (Meriden, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Daughters of England (Gold Range Series: Daughters of England) (Audio Cassette)
Believe this book was published after the author's death, and it should NOT have been published under the name "Philippa Carr." The story itself may be fine, but it was ruined for me when I spent the entire book trying to figure out who Sarah's mother was, since I thought this to be the end of the Daughters of England series. IT'S NOT!! It's not related at all!! It made for a very, very disappointing ending to an otherwise perfectly wonderful book series. So if you get this book, pretend it's by "Victoria Holt" and you'll enjoy it more!!

agreement with tammy,
By
This review is from: Daughters Of England (Hardcover)
I agree with the above reviewer. You would think publishers would be familiar enough with an author's work to know that a book doesn't follow in a series. However it was mildly enjoyable, although I don't believe it is as good as other victoria holt books and really makes me think a lot of it was written by a ghost writer
