    About this ebook

    Haggard’s tenth novel, published in 1890, is a change of pace: a tale of scandalous love in Victorian London. Beatrice is an unmarried Welsh schoolteacher. Geoffrey, a barrister, is very much married, but unhappily so. They feel a deep psychic connection—but can that protect them from Geoffrey’s social-climbing wife and Beatrice’s ruthless suitor?

    Author

    H. Rider Haggard

    Sir Henry Rider Haggard, (1856-1925) commonly known as H. Rider Haggard was an English author active during the Victorian era. Considered a pioneer of the lost world genre, Haggard was known for his adventure fiction. His work often depicted African settings inspired by the seven years he lived in South Africa with his family. In 1880, Haggard married Marianna Louisa Margitson and together they had four children, one of which followed her father’s footsteps and became an author. Haggard is still widely read today, and is celebrated for his imaginative wit and impact on 19th century adventure literature.
