Marjorie Gilbert has captured the pleasures--and frustrations--of 19th
century British society, to which she introduces Lord John Latham, an
entirely appealing young man. By the end of his first few days back home,
you'll want to adopt him--or vie for his attentions.
--Judith Green, author of "Hit the Street"
"The Return", by Marjorie Gilbert, is the story of a man who returns to
Regency England after some time away. He must balance his
ideas, needs, and experiences with what is expected of an English
gentleman. He must also face his feelings for his childhood friend,
knowing that there is a profound gap between what he would like to
be able to offer her and his true circumstances.
Marjorie Gilbert has undoubtedly done a great deal of research on
Regency England. You will feel as if you are there.
-April Kihlstrom, author of 28 Regencies, including the award winning
"The Reluctant Thief" and the "Miss Tibbles" series.
The Regency era springs vividly to life in "The Return", a richly-detailed account of a
young man's journey home after years abroad, and the sometimes painful adjustments
he must make as he reacquaints himself with the 'Polite World.' The central characters
are deftly drawn, and historical personages are sprinkled
into the text to add to the reader's delight.
