โฆ Synopsis
Originally published as Ride the Blue Riband 1978
The year is 1847.
After the tragic death of her parents Tansy Marlow is surprised to discover her father has left her half shares in young colt and a large house, suggesting a life far superior to the poverty she and her siblings have grown accustomed to.
Tansy and her brother and sister Roger and Nina, and her foster sister Judith, start their new life at Rushmere only to discover a family secret that forces them to lie to their entire community
As if that wasnโt bad enough, Tansy finds herself indebted to Dominic Reade, a man she hates and holds personally responsible for her fatherโs death.
He is also the co-owner of Young Oberon, the race horse her father had set his hopes and dreams on.
Tansy is determined to do anything it takes to free her family from debt and the troubling Dominic Reade.
But her actions bring her into conflict with her siblings. Her brother is desperate to work at Dominicโs stables to achieve his dream of becoming a jockey while her beautiful and calculating sister Nina has set her heart on marrying the rich and aristocratic Edward Taylor.
Tansey tries to hold her family together but more tragedy is on the horizon for the Marlows.
And Dominic Reade will not leave her alone.
Can she rebuild her familyโs fortunes?
Or will The Marlows lose their fortune once more?
'A magnificent saga, rich in drama and period detail.' - Holly Kinsella, best-selling author of 'Uptown Girl'.
โThe Marlowsโ was previously published as โRide the Blue Ribandโ.
Rosalind Laker was lucky enough to be born into a family that took a great interest in its forebears, and tales of them were handed down to her, providing characters and incidents for many of her historical novels. Her books include โThe Fragile Hourโ and โWhat the Heart Keeps.
