Synopsis

In "For Love of Country," Cyrus Townsend Brady crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and the profound connection between individuals and their nation. Written in the early 20th century, the book echoes the era's burgeoning sense of American nationalism following the Spanish-American War, reflecting Brady's mastery of descriptive prose and strong character development. The literary style is imbued with a sense of urgency and emotional resonance, inviting readers to navigate the complexities of loyalty and courage amidst the trials faced by the protagonists. Cyrus Townsend Brady was not only a prolific author but also a journalist and historian, with a rich background in military affairs that informed much of his writing. His experiences as a Union soldier during the Civil War, combined with his deep-seated love for his country, undoubtedly shaped the themes explored in "For Love of Country." Brady's perspective as a patriot and observer of contemporary societal issues lends the narrative both authenticity and depth, making the book a reflective testament to the American spirit. This work is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that delves into the values of duty and belonging. Brady's ability to weave poignant storytelling with America's historical fabric makes this book essential for anyone wishing to understand the sacrifices inherent in love for one's country.

Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own. What had been so upsetting for Elizabeth was to discover, at the last moment, that the Captain of the ship was to be Hugh Anson, with whom she had once been in love. But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!

In the midst of a fierce storm, a carriage carrying Sir John Mayfield, Lady Marianna Mayfield, and her lady's companion careens off a narrow cliff road, changing their fates forever. When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.
