| Summary |
"Two young schoolgirls pledge undying love, marry each other secretly, and promise to live together when they come of age--but nothing works out as planned. This tale of Georgian England comes from the early journals and letters of Anne Lister (1791-1840). Known as Gentleman Jack, her last love affair can be seen on BBC. In this book, you'll read her own words about her first love affair with an Indian heiress. Anne came from the best family in Halifax, but she was girl. That meant she would never inherit, and she would be married off as soon as possible. But the thought of marriage filled her with terror--she preferred women to men. Eliza Raine's father was English, and he left her a fortune. The trouble was that she looked Indian"--Back cover. |
