Book Description
Set in England during the period of the French Revolution, The Wanderer chronicles the ordeals of an emigree's escape from France and the Terror and her attempts to earn a living while guarding her own secrets.

What in the world can have inspired you with such an interest for this wandering Creole?" "'Tis not her face does love create, For there no graces revel." --This text refers to the Digital edition.
