Review & Description
Clarissa and Jeremy grew up on the grand estate of Hethering and ran wild in its gardens, its meadows and woodlands. They fell madly in love, but on the midsummer night of Jeremy's inheritance, they learn a family secret that tears them apart. Through separations and misbegotten marriages, Jeremy and Clarissa's love never dies.
When Clarissa learns her mother's secret, and realizes she and Jeremy are free to love each other, Jeremy's wife will not let him go. The Great War begins and Clarissa and Jeremy's passionate farewell sparks a love affair that ends in sorrow when Jeremy is lost behind the lines. Clarissa risks her reputation to heal his terrible wounds but his estranged wife schemes to keep them apart, banished from Hethering forever.
"Clarissa, can you ever forgive me?" He braced his body for my rejection, but I'd forgiven him as he spoke, forgiven him without the interference of my conscious mind. I didn't dare tell him that. I had to send him away. I gathered the strength to see him off, but something deep within me rebelled.
"Damn you, Jeremy." There was anger and grief and undying love in my gritted words. I loved him before, I loved him now. I would always, always love him.
