INSCRIPTION FROM ANN BIRCH on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; The untold story of scandal and political intrigue in early Toronto. Anna Jameson arrives in the tiny settlement of Toronto in Nov 1836. She has come at the request of her estranged husband, but she intends to gather material for a new book, which will eventually be published in 1838. At first, Anna finds herself in an alien world. She has little in common with Toronto women whose interests center on gossip and their families, but as she begins to move into new adventures like sleigh-riding, she enters a new life. And she also meets man-about-town Sam Jarvis. But Jarvis has a loving wife, a pile of debts and a violent past. Told from both their points of view, Sam and Anna wrestle with their growing attraction and eventually arrive at a settlement. Near Fine Soft cover Napoleon & Company 2010 Toronto, ON
