The Adventurer is a Barbara Cartland novel like no other. Set before, during and after World War One, this is not the story of a King, a Lord or a dashing battlefield hero: Frank Swinton is quite the opposite. He is an adventurer: a man determined to raise himself above the drudgery of a nine-to-five job. Tall, dark and attractive, if not exactly handsome, he uses his charms to swindle lonely ladies out of their money. That is until he’s trapped by his own weakness and greed in a loveless marriage–and hates himself as much as his obsessive and embittered bride. Eventually he manages to unshackle himself, flee overseas and find the courage to fight for his country–but will he ever escape and rediscover his long-lost soul and the love his greed allowed him to leave behind? All is told in this moving story about a man’s search for redemption and that in the end, love is enough.Voir livre
