When Claire de Havilan meets Adam Marshall in his native village setting, the first step of a bridge is laid.
A bridge that must cross the divide between a member of the socially privileged Edwardian upper classes and a Midlands railway ganger.
For whilst she belongs on the aristocratic fringes of the Bloomsbury set, he is a talented sculptor in the making with neither money nor background.
The building of the bridge between them is further cemented when Adam leaves his rural surroundings to share a London studio with fellow struggling artists.
For in doing so he moves closer to Claire’s own world, and they are able to acknowledge their growing love for each other.
But this new awareness also serves to highlight the differences between them until first the class barrier, and then Claire’s devotion to the women’s cause threaten to come between them.
It is only when the drama of an unforeseen crisis takes centre-stage that their true destiny is forged…
‘Savage Legacy’ is a thrilling romantic novel set against the background of Edwardian London and rise of the suffragette movement.
