Summary
London 1770. A time bursting with fortune hunters, the growing trade with the East and the profusion of exotic plants - with a variety of uses.
Carey Ravine and her newly married husband, man-about-town Oliver Nash, are living an extravagant lifestyle based on her small savings and his belief in the next deal. Remarkably, he turns out to be right; he is offered a fortune for writing columns, supporting his patron's burgeoning political and financial career and denigrating his opponents.
But Carey, accosted by desperate strangers even when visiting Nash's wealthy friends, begins to hear and reluctantly be forced to believe another story - not just about his employers but about Nash himself; and even of her father, whom she had thought long dead along with the rest of her family.
Dramatic, dark, full of fascinating insights into eighteenth-century society, The Revelations of Carey Ravine will enthrall you to the very end.
