The Wild Rose is a part of the sweeping, multi-generational saga
that began with The Tea Rose and continued with The Winter Rose. It
is London, 1914. World War I looms on the horizon, women are
fighting for the right to vote, and explorers are pushing the
limits ofendurance in the most forbidding corners of the earth.
Into this volatile time, Jennifer Donnelly places her vivid and
memorable characters: Willa Alden, a passionate mountain climber
who lost her leg while summiting Kilimanjaro with Seamus Finnegan,
and who will never forgive him for saving her life; Seamus
Finnegan, a polar explorer who tries to forget Willa as he marries
a beautiful young schoolteacher back home in England; Max von
Brandt, a handsome German sophisticate who courts high society
women, but has a secret agenda in wartime London. Many other
beloved characters from The Winter Rose continue their adventures
in The Wild Rose as well. With myriad twists and turns, thrilling
cliffhangers, and fabulous period detail and atmosphere, The Wild
Rose provides a highly satisfying conclusion to an unforgettable
trilogy.
