INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS: In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy. Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. The Sepoy Mutiny Visiting India, Emma Lindsay is caught up in the romantic whirl of her exotic surroundings. When she meets the dashing Capt. Hugh Richmond, he warns her to leave India right away. Torn between her attraction for this handsome officer, and his apparent cowardly concern, she determines to remain at all costs. But on the eve of Jawan Day ... the first destructive move is made, and Emma is soon trapped in a violent, blood-thirsty revolt! “… An excellent historical romance ... A powerful love story is set against an Indian background… Strongly recommended.” — James Dillon White, Trade News “The Indian Mutiny always makes good reading and ... Stuart does not fail. No wishy-washy plot with a veneer of historical fact, but a lusty, exciting story with no punches pulled.” — Books & Bookmen Vivian Stuart was a British writer and during her writing career she had more than 70 books published in Australia, USA and the UK.
