## About this book

Midsummer Eve, 1670, and a wealthy man waits outside a poor London warehouse for Alinor, the woman he failed twenty-one years earlier. He can offer money, land and status, and he believes she has the one thing he cannot buy: his son and heir. Across the Atlantic, her brother Ned finds no justice in New England, where the King's revenge turns settlers against each other and against the American Indians.

Then Livia arrives from Venice, a beautiful widow claiming Alinor as her mother-in-law and bringing word that Alinor's son Rob has drowned in the lagoon. Is she telling the truth, or is she an imposter? The second Fairmile novel moves between three cities in the uneasy years of Charles II's reign. Philippa Gregory's long-standing readers, and anyone who likes their history told through ordinary families and buried secrets, will settle in happily.
