Violet is the daughter of a "native" and an English, which in 1815 made her a person who is not welcome or at Port Royal or England, where the family of his father disowned .
After the death of her father she is left with ruined his mother and she finds herself having to marry a governor or end up on the street. His mother in desperation tries a reconciliation with the family of her late husband who accepts to welcome Violet, and only she, England.
Violet finds herself uprooted away from his mother in a family that did not want her. But against all odds his uncle and cousin are hospitable and show the camera begins. We guess the false pretenses before Violet and the dangers it faces but I must say that the end surprised me. I can not say more to not spoil your surprise but know that the universe is very original and well chosen title;)
In short, this title does not go far from the heart stroke and think quickly read the other titles of this author. It's a real page turner with a gothic atmosphere and a surprising mythology. Really a good surprise.
