Buy the book from:
Ward Gibson is expected to marry Daisy, whose family regards the match as settled, until he becomes captivated by a gifted music-hall singer whose voice offers entry into a different social world. His attempt to choose desire over obligation provokes resentment and retaliation that reach far beyond the original courtship.
The consequences pass into the next generation, where children inherit divided loyalties and unresolved hostility. Set amid the class boundaries of the North East, the novel links musical ambition with a family struggle over who has the right to determine another person’s future.
This book has also been published under the title The Maltese Angel.
