Peter Rushforth Bücher

This novel is set in turn of the century New York, a city bursting with new life. Old parks are being torn down to make way for suitable dwellings for the rising mercantile class. The old century's order is changing but the people still have their traditions and their place in society.

Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton - the faithless young naval lieutenant who abandons Madam Butterfly - was glimpsed in Peter Rushforth's previous novel, 'Pinkerton's Sister'. Now Ben steps out of the shadows and into the centre of the stage, a young man haunted by the desolation of his boyhood years, unable to show or respond to love.
