    99,95 kr.

    Beset by family tragedy Helen Miller is thrust into the cruel world of the late 19th century, a world where the old norms and customs are rapidly giving way to vulgarity, and the desire for wealth and power is infecting the minds of men. Small business' are giving way to large factories where men and women are subjected to slave labor with little pay, woman are in the streets demanding the right to vote while denouncing the institution of marriage as slavery, and crusaders are hailing against the evils of alcohol and demanding fair wages for workers. Into this maelstrom comes a young girl who is forced to leave her hometown in England to live with relatives in the small industrial town of Manchester, New Hampshire. Here the manners she learned at a finishing school in France will be challenged, as she is thrust into a world of vulgar manners, the struggle for power and wealth, and political intrigue.

    A young, English girl is forced to leave her hometown in England after a tragic death in her family. Leaving her beloved bulldog King Orry and ailing mother behind she is forced to cross the Atlantic and is unwittingly accosted by anarchists who are traveling to the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. In Manchester she meets her Tory leaning relatives who are involved in political intrigue, she experiences ghostly happenings in Salem, and ominous disturbances at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut. Ultimately she learns that her French lover has spurned her for another, and is forced to endure amorous attempts by deceitful men, bent on crushing her already broken heart. These and other madcap adventures await Helen Miller as she struggles to adjust to a time when manners are changing, when feminists are on the prowl, when anarchists are out for blood, and when it seems that love is only found in dreams.
