Pimpernel and Rosemary

PIMPERNEL & ROSEMARY But most of that had become a thing of the past. So much of it had gone, been irretrievably lost in the cataclysm of war and alien occupation. The will to give was still there, the love of the stranger, the boundless hospitality, but giving now meant a sacrifice somewhere, giving up something to give to others. All the sweeter, all the more lovable for being tinged with sadness.This story takes place three generations after Sir Percy, and is similar in many ways to "The Scarlet Pimpernel" with its intrigue, romance and twists and turns in the plot. However, it is different enough to surprise and delight the reader. A must-read for fans of Baroness Orczy and her beloved 'Pimpernel'. PIMPERNEL & ROSEMARY
