Description
Unbeknown to three young women their paths are about
to cross, and in such a way that none of their lives will
remain unaltered. Beautiful Leonie, brought up in the
East End by foster parents, receives a surprise visit from
her wealthy godmother and is sent to work at lady Angela
Bentick’s private nursing home near Buckingham Palace;
Dorinda sails from France without her wastrel husband and
becomes a celebrated member of London’s demi-monde;
and Mercy is saved from social ignominy by an older
man with whom she falls passionately in love.
That all three determine on making their own way at a
time when to be independent was to risk social ostracism,
or even tragedy, is partly due to the influence each comes to
have on the others’ lives. The love knots that they all face in
their relationships finally unravel, but not before hearts have
been broken, and scandals risked.
Award-winning novelist Charlotte Bingham has dazzled
readers with a series of acclaimed bestsellers, including
Grand Affair, The Kissing Garden and Love Song.
Set at the beginning of the twentieth century, The Love Knot is
a highly original and compelling novel that once again
demonstrates her remarkable storytelling gift.
