The first volume of the second trilogy ( Except the Lord and Not Honour More follow) is about Chester Nimmo, a Radical politician who considers himself to be divinely inspired and Nina torn between her love for him and for her soldier cousin Jim Latter. Earthy and full-blooded, both innocent and wise, we find in her a woman as sensuous as Emma Bovary, as ravaged as Anna Karenina.
