Anne of Summer Ho — Clare Rossiter

RomanceLarge Print EditionThe charm of roguish aristocrat Harry Summer and his spell over sweet young Anne, a merchants daughter whom he makes his wife, mark the beginning of this 17th-century romance. As Anne matures, she and her family are beset by many problems. She faces the return of Harry, wounded, from fighting for King Charles I; the unwanted advances of his enemy; malicious gossip; and the total dependency of Harrys crippled bastard son.
