About this book

On a stormy night on the Calais coast, Mr. Bruce paces the sands while fearing for the life of Nina, the young woman who has crossed the Channel with him. His recollections bring country house courtship, family opposition and the threat of lost inheritance into the opening of this novel by G. J. Whyte-Melville. Private feeling is measured against the demands of social standing.

Later, the scene shifts to the London season, where Maud Bruce accepts Lord Bearwarden's proposal and leaves Dick Stanmore to confront his disappointment. A notice seeking the missing Tom Ryfe introduces another kind of uncertainty, as his uncle questions servants and waits anxiously for news.
