Mister Gordon's Daughters

By Leslie Douglas

What happens when a lie carries on so long it becomes indistinguishable from truth? What if the liars were one's own family? It's London, 1871. Arthur Gordon is a successful West End tea merchant whose life is turned upside down when he receives a proposal for his youngest daughter, Jane, from one of the most eligible bachelors in London - a handsome man with a vast fortune and a burgeoning political career. Gordon is convinced, however, that the match is doomed for failure. He resolves to do whatever it takes to prevent the marriage, including conspiring with his eldest daughter to lie and deceive the rest of the family. Can Arthur Gordon hold his family together while also concealing his lies or will his own conscience get the better of him? Will Jane's sister, an unhappily married woman, subvert Jane's only chance of happiness? Will Jane find a new love in the Scottish Highlands with a straight-talking, no-nonsense mountain boy who has no patience for her big city pretensions or will the two tear each other apart - and, in the process, cause Arthur Gordon's carefully woven lies to come unraveled?
