Midsummer's Eve — Philippa Carr

ON THE MYSTERIOUS MOORS OF CORNWALL...

Young, innocent Annora Cadorson falls in love with her neighbor, the charismatic Rolf Hanson, believing they will be wed someday. But then, one night, everything changes -- shattering Annora's illusions about Rolf forever.

IN THE SPLENDOR OF VICTORIAN LONDON...

Annora tries to lose herself in the glamour and excitement of the fashionable set, awaiting the accession of Queen Victoria. But a political scandal dashes her hopes for a new romance -- and her chances for a new life without the one man she could ever love.

IN THE PRIMITIVE OUTBACK OF AUSTRALIA...

It is only Annora's astounding strength and faith that can keep the ghosts at bay -- until once more she must flee, until once more it is Rolf in her thoughts, until once more her haunted past betrays her, recalling Midsummer's Eve.
