Rogue Herries
by Hugh Walpole
Described in John Buchanan's first publication as the best British novel since The Incomprehensible Jude, Rogue Herries tells a bigger story than life of francis herris, who ripped his family from Yorkshire and brought them to live in the Positionale, where their life was as dramatic as the landscape surrounding them. Proud, ruthless and fast, he despises his first wife, sells his mistress at the county fair and forms a great love for the young gypsy Mirabel Starr. Besides this turbulent story, his son David, his own enemies and affectionate daughter Deborah are running around his father's house with calm dreams that will not come true.
