It was to be a respectable marriage to a man engaged in a
respectable business. Certainly 34-year-old Frances Scott, forced
into genteel poverty despite an aristocratic heritage, has little
choice but to wed the lower class Bristol shipping merchant.
Trading her social connections for his protection in the
brutally male-dominated world of eighteenth-century England,
Frances discovers that her husband's "respectable" trade-- dealing
in African slaves-- will propel her into a passionate fight for
romance, life and the freedom of the slave she comes to love
deeply.
A saga of desire and shame, of dramatic confrontations between
convention and truth, "A Respectable Trade" is a disturbing and yet
truly satisfying novel from "the first lady of intelligent
historical fiction."
