description: The rich and powerful saga of an English family forging new lives in a world torn by war. She was Mrs. Sylvia Russell now, years into a loveless marriage to a sea captain far beneath her station. Perhaps she had only herself to blame. Self-willed from girlhood, she had rebelled against the wishes of her mother Mary Hervey, head of one of England's great shipbuilding companies, and chosen this life of poverty in hopes of creating from it a future of power and influence of her own. Had she failed? The mainstay of her life was her son Jacob. But then came World War I and Jake joined the Flying Corps--and suddenly Sylvia was confronted with a loss almost beyond her courage to bear... THE CAPTAIN'S WIFE, played across the rich canvas of England thrusting its way into the twentieth century, is the magnificent continuation of Storm Jameson's acclaimed saga of a fascinating and complex family. It is the fourth novel of a series that began with THE LOVELY SHIP, THE VOYAGE HOME and A RICHER DUST.
