Rescuing the infant from certain death, Lord Geoffroy adopts her as his only child, heir to the fabulous Love Hall fortune. He names her Rose in memory of his long-dead sister and gives hera childhood of unparalleled gaiety and unstinting pleasure. But every house has a secret, and as Rose approaches adolescence, the secret of Love Hall becomes impossible to hide. As much as Lord Geoffroy wanted a daughter, the baby he brought home is, in fact, a boy. As a flock Publisher Description You know who I am. But perhaps you dont know my name: Rose Old. I was unwanted at birth and thrown away, evidence best disposed of. If you consider that, bloodily new to the world, I was bound for a dusty grave and that I was saved only by a distracted boy and a stray dog, its a miracle that I lived an hour, let alone as long as I have. Whod have imagined Id live to tell the tale, as it were? Fortune patted me on the head at an early age, but it wasnt all walks and treats. We had a complicated relationship. What else do you know? Well, you know Im alive now, unless Im telling this story from beyond the grave. Im Old but Im not that old and I am not going to die in my story (unless I do it with the last full stop -- that would be acceptable; after all, I havent finished yet and I cant see the future any more clearly than you can). Rose Old, alive. Author Biography Educated at Cambridge, Wesley Stace (also known as John Wesley Harding) cut short his Ph.D. studies to pursue a music career.
