vii, 408 pp. "A beautiful, reckless mother rides magnificently to her death on the Irish cliffs of Ballybog, leaving her child a sinister heritage. But the golden haired twelve-year-old Charmaine does not know her adored mother had a tainted good name, only that Griselda her elderly, grim-visaged step-sister hates her. ...And then when Charmaine is seventeen, as a beautiful and charming as her lovely ill-starred mother, Griselda packs her brutally off to London, telling her to make a "good"marriage."--jacket
