Gail Eastwood writes polished Regency fiction. This story of love between enemies---the French prisoner and the English lady---is beautifully done, and explores a subject not much written about. (The only other story on love between enemies during the Napoleonic era that I am aware of--and please correct me if I'm wrong--is the long-out-of-print Robert Louis Stevenson's last novel, St. Ives.) There is a perfectly horrendous villain! You will root for his downfall --- appropriately enough, at the hands of the heroic French captain. A good, romantic read and a good look at the historical treatment of French prisoners of war in England.
