Alverston Park

In Alverston Park, author William Frank  gives a deep bow to Jane Austen with a story of love and societal boundaries. Helena Mowbray, a clergyman's daughter, warns her two younger sisters about the impossibility of marrying nobility. Yet this does little to deter the trio of charismatic Fitzosborne brothers, sons of the Earl of Alverston, who find themselves captivated by the Mowbray sisters during the London social season. Set against the opulent backdrop of Regency England, complete with grand balls, architectural splendour and society scandals, the narrative weaves in events like a secret newborn and a daring journey to Napoleon's island prison in the South Atlantic. Through misadventures and tragedies, the tale explores the consequences of class prejudice and the elusive nature of happiness, reflecting issues still resonant in contemporary high society.
