Produktbeschreibung
In Alverston Park, author William Frank gives a deep bow to Jane Austen with a story of love and societal boundaries. Helena Mowbray, a clergyman's daughter, warns her two younger sisters about the impossibility of marrying nobility. Yet this does little to deter the trio of charismatic Fitzosborne brothers, sons of the Earl of Alverston, who find themselves captivated by the Mowbray sisters during the London social season. Set against the opulent backdrop of Regency England, complete with grand balls, architectural splendour and society scandals, the narrative weaves in events like a secret newborn and a daring journey to Napoleon's island prison in the South Atlantic. Through misadventures and tragedies, the tale explores the consequences of class prejudice and the elusive nature of happiness, reflecting issues still resonant in contemporary high society.

William Frank has been a professional writer all his life, both as a journalist and public relations consultant. Born in London where he spent the first thirty years of his life, he first travelled to Australia as an overland adventure and, in Sydney, worked as s shorthand tutor on The Sydney Morning Herald before editing a magazine for the fashion industry. Back in London, he spent ten years in Fleet Street with Exchange Telegraph in their PR department handling clients such as Boeing Commercial Airplane and American Express. Returning to Sydney he worked as a PR consultant and spent the last decade of his career as a journalist on a daily newspaper. It was being an avid Jane Austen fan and enthusiast of TV adaptations which led to writing the nine novels of 'The Regency Chronicle', the first of which is Alverston Park. He lives in retirement in Manly, where Sydney Harbour opens to the Tasman Sea.
