Synopsis

This classic romance, exquisitely told, is the sweeping chronicle of the life and loves of a remarkable woman- Louisa Elliott. Proud and determined, she battles to overcome the stigma of her illegitimate birth in the pitiless slums of YOrk during the reign of Queen Victoria. An indomitable heroine, she is adored by her gentle, poetic cousin Edward, yet is irresistibly drawn into the passionate arms of Robert Duncannon-a handsome and dashing dragoon officer whose love could destroy forever Louisa's cherished dream of respectability. Breathtakingly sensual, sparkling and alive with sumptuous period detail, LOUISA ELLIOTT is a magnificent work-a moving and unforgettable reading experience that touches the heart and enriches the soul.

What the Critics Say

:Author Ann Victoria Roberts has served up a delicious repast.... this is one those novels that grabs the attention and doesn't let go....It is delightful.. From first page to last, the book is absorbing and exciting.. The kind of book to dive into, head first and not come up for air until the end.." - New York City Tribune.
A Victorian England so meticulously evoked that one feels the grandeur of the ballrooms as vividly as one shrinks from the appalling condition of the slums hidden behind the elegant streets...Compelling and thought-provoking reading, right to the very last page." - Chicago Sun-Times.
