York in the last decade of the 19th century is the dramatic setting for his powerful novel. An international bestseller when first published, Louisa Elliott's timeless themes of love, desire and betrayal make it equally relevant today.Louisa and Edward Elliott are cousins tied by more than simple family affection. As the daughter of a family with secrets, Louisa feels bound to remain single and independent, while Edward, sensitive and poetic, loves her far more than he can admit, even to himself. But with the advent of Robert Duncannon, an Irish officer with the Royal Dragoons, their lives change completely. Outwardly dashing and hard-living, Robert has secrets of his own; and as Louisa falls passionately in love, Edward despairs for her future. While he takes up a different battle, Louisa finds she must choose between safety and respectability in York, and the uncertainty of life in Dublin with Robert, his family and friends. In both cities, here magically evoked, military pageantry marches side with poverty and wealth, while Louisa is inwardly torn by opposing forces. Having followed her heart, how will she deal with the consequences?

The Bulloch women of Roswell, Georgia, were not typical antebellum Southern belles. Most were well educated world travelers skilled at navigating social circles far outside the insular aristocracy of the rural South. Their lives were filled with intrigue, espionage, scandal, adversity and perseverance. During the Civil War they eluded Union spies on land and blockaders at sea and afterwards they influenced the national debate on equal rights for women. The impact of their Southern ideals increased exponentially when they integrated into the Roosevelt family of New York. Drawing on primary sources, this book provides new insight into the private lives of the women closely linked with the Bulloch family. They include four first ladies, a Confederate spy, the mother of President Teddy Roosevelt and a number of his closest confidants. Nancy Jackson, the family's nursemaid slave, is among the less well known but equally fascinating Bulloch women.
John Elliot moved to Boscawen shortly after its settlement in 1734, and from 1750 to 1765 he lived in Durham, New Hampshire (which might have his birthplace). He married Temperance Durrill and Ruth Flanders, and died after 1775.
The path of countless ages has been trod By many a scholar now forgotten, save For the inscribed tombstone of his grave (If not already sunken ‘neath the sod). And if these men be now mere names or less, They’ve done their share to keep the School alive, And uphold that tradition we derive From those men in the days of Good Queen Bess; And we must let our fame be ne’er outshone, Holding aloft the school’s honour and name, That she may continue to rise in fame, Surpassing heights attained in years now gone. However, this our work cannot be done Unless a share is taken by each one. — Flight Lieutenant Benjamin Robinson DFC RAF, former CRGS pupil, Killed in Action over Germany, 17th June 1944.
The two cousins could not be more opposite. Louisa Elliot nurtures a defiant spirit, while Lady Meg never dares to rebel or speak out. Orphaned as children they were raised by their overbearing grandmother who has definite plans for them. The cousins are distraught when the countess decrees they shall be wed--Louisa to a timorous squire and Meg to the haughty Duke of Hargrove. From the moment the duke, Meg's intended, frees Louisa from a hollow log, his heart is ensnared and his carefully honed life set awry. Rumors of financial ruin put about to aid the duke's capture of an enemy agent add credence to the misinformation Louisa gathers to discredit him and save her cousin. Then Louisa discovers she loves the duke. Amidst madcap chases, nefarious dealings, and kidnappings, and despite mounting evidence that Hargrove is a traitor, Louisa risks all to prove his innocence.
