Ruth Pennistan is a farmer?s daughter, born and brought up in Kent. But her dark hair and eyes belie a forgotten ancestry ? a Spanish gypsy grandmother and a passionate inheritance. Malory, the rather strait-laced guest of the family, falls head over heels in love, even whilst Ruth becomes trapped against her will in a drama of love and tragedy with another man. Vita Sackville-West?s first heroine echoes the passions and contradictions of the author’s own life.
