"You were born for great things," he said ... "For great passions, for great accomplishments. Will you find your destiny, I wonder, or go through life like so many others — a wanderer, knocking ever at empty doors, homeless to the last? Oh, if one could but find the way to your heart."
Annabel Pellissier, frightened and confused, allows Sir John Ferringhall to believe that she is her sister, Anna. The deception grows, and Anna is forced to bear the burden of her sister's Paris reputation: that of being a coquette. Endless complications ensue when both sisters return to London. This is one of Oppenheim's most intriguing love stories, about one brave woman's quest to find love without sacrificing her integrity.
This is the Complete and Unexpurgated Boston Edition that contains 77,000 words. This special edition of the book contains all the text in the original edition, and an essay about Oppenheim by Michael Pastore.
