I think I shall do better to stay away from affairs of the heart. One can be so hurt. I don't want to go through that again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNinian Whitmead, almost forty years old, has already loved deeply, then lost once in his life. He has resigned himself to life alone on his seaside Cornish estate, Polmawgan House, without wife or family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut he is not prepared for the shipwreck of a Courteen pirate ship off the coast of Cornwall that leaves Parvati, a young Indian girl, stranded in a foreign land as its only survivor. At first out of charity, then out of growing affection, Ninian takes the lost girl into his home, and when his attachment deepens to love, he marries her and they have a son.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough Parvati adopts a Christian name and is baptized into the Anglican church, their solemn Puritan community finds her foreign blood and unfamiliar customs unacceptable. As the stirrings of Civil War in England increase, tragedy seems imminent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnand's fourth radiant installment in The Bridge Over Time series follows the Whitmead family through the political and religious tumult of the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Faithful Lovers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Valerie Anand has been building a remarkable body of work, a series of historical novels that have recreated England's history both accurately and vividly.\"-The Anniston Star\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Anand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1628154039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628154030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Speaking Volumes, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.86d","brand":"Valerie Anand","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088664277247,"sku":"9781628154030","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3deac4b-5750-4ea2-9885-86fc975d07aa.jpg?v=1769105985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-faithful-lovers-valerie-anand-9781628154030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
