The revenge of a lover on the father who refused him his daughter, Ethel, and the madness which followed his loss and her eventual death. Set in Australia, a fairly turgid tale told as by one in the grip of madness. (PB)
Grace Winyard gives Fred Everleigh a bible and a white rose as a token of her love as he leaves Somersetshire to try his fortune in Australia. Eight years elapse in which time Fred loses his property, his name and eventually his life. Grace waits patiently until she hears of his death and slowly picks up her own life. (PB)
