Beguiling, sexy Tina Pringle thinks she has solved her problem. Married a wealthy man. A baby due. But has she created an even bigger dilemma?
Tina is excruciatingly bored. Africa is not the glitz and glamour of 1920s London. Harry Brigandshaw, however, couldn’t be happier on his African farm. But with his young wife pressurising him to return to England, Harry caves into her demands.
The soul of London is what Tina desires. Plunging herself into the hedonistic swirl of social engagements, she rekindles her flirtatious dance with Barnaby St Clair. Heedless, Harry returns to business. Including financing a musical with his old flame in the leading role. Danger swirls and jealousies flare…
And when Harry begins a new and hazardous venture, the warning signs are already there. Love affairs abound. The rich are getting richer. The stock market is rising. And like a pack of cards, everything collapses, along with Harry disappearing, in deepest Africa…
To the Manor Born is the fourth novel in the Brigandshaw Chronicles – a multigenerational saga, of heroic people living through the rise and fall of the Anglo-Saxon Empire.
