Product Description
The Child from the sea tells the rich, turbulent tale of Lucy Walter, secret wife of Charles II, and a mistress-dispite-herself to a gallant and reckless Irish nobleman in exile. It is a story filled with the passions and adventure of an age of glory and squalor, nobility and depravity, courage and betrayal. It was a drama that ranges from an isolated castle in Wales, to the pomp license of Paris. Above all, it is an intensely moving, unforgettable portrayal of a woman as proud as she was beautiful, whose untamed heart was torn between two men and whose untamed heart was torn between two men and whose lovely body and shining spirit tipped the scales of history.
