Description
The Toll-Gate by Georgette Heyer After the Battle of Waterloo, Captain John Staple finds life in peacetime dull and unfulfilling. Lost in the Pennines, he takes refuge at an unmanned toll-house, where he meets a lady of extraordinary qualities. As he tries to find his way back to civilisation, he becomes embroiled in a rescue mission and a scandalous murder investigation. A beautifully crafted tale of adventure and romance, The Toll-Gate is a story of a man who must confront the challenges of peacetime and find a new sense of purpose. With its incisive wit and quiet subversiveness, this novel is a treat for fans of historical fiction. Published in 2005, this new edition of The Toll-Gate is a great introduction to Georgette Heyer's work, with her characteristic blend of romance, adventure and historical detail.
