LORD OF THE FAR ISLAND

by Victoria Holt ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 12, 1975

Miss Holt--that grande dame of little governesses--is in very good form this time as she tells the story of poor relation Ellen living in London by courtesy of her mean Cousin Agatha until she receives the proposal of wealthy Philip Carrington of the ""most important family"" only to lose him to a ""self-inflicted wound."" Shortly thereafter she is invited by Jago Kellaway to the Far Island--an isolated community to which her unknown and little mentioned father once belonged. Jago seems dualistic in his intentions but not his attraction for her until she also seems in danger of gaining too much and losing her life. . . . Just in time to replace Phyllis Whitney--she's been there long enough--up the upstaircase.
