Weekly It is 1914 and World War I looms over Europe. In London
Seamus Finnegan - a famous polar explorer - considers settling down
and taking up a prestigious position with the Royal Geographical
Society. Unfortunately, despite many eager women around him, no one
is able to soothe the pain left in his heart by Willa Alden, a
childhood sweetheart and fellow traveller, who after an accident on
mount Kilimanjaro, disappeared into the Himalayan wilderness,
refusing to see Seamus ever again. Seamus' family and friends doubt
that he will be able to restrain his hunger for adventure and
settle into the society life again, but just as he is to sign up
for another mission in Antarctica he meets Jennie Wilcott, a
beautiful and spirited young teacher. The passion that sparks
between them is more than a mere fling and Seamus begins to believe
that he could be happy in this new life with a steady job and a
cosy home to come back to. But is this newly found happiness just a
trick of his heart? Will his feelings for Jennie survive Willa's
unexpected return to London to attend her father's funeral? Just as
the moral and emotional dilemmas caused by Willa's reappearance
begin to devour Seamus' short-lived bliss, war erupts, allowing him
to escape the torments of his soul in the name of fighting for his
country. But in a world ploughed by war, the past keeps resurfacing
in the least expected places ... The Wild Rose, first published in
2011, is the last part of the acclaimed multi-generational saga by
Jennifer Donnelly that began with The Tea Rose. Set against the
turmoil of World War I and filled with thrilling twists and
cliff-hangers The Wild Rose is a satisfying conclusion to an
unforgettable trilogy.
