Mehr erfahrenThe daughter of a violently unhappy marriage, Claire Lammond is resolved never to love or marry. For the sake of her ambitious brother, she breaks one resolution and marries Captain Justin Sumners, lately returned from the Peninsular War. Will she be able to fulfil her other resolution and keep her heart independent?
Elizabeth Grant's first novel follows the fortunes of two strong, engaging characters in early nineteenth-century England. At its core are family ties - between son and father, children and parents, sisters and brothers, siblings and cousins - all tested and strained by the demands of politics, love, and duty.

An Independent Heart
historicalnovelsocietySeptember 2020
(...)Grant’s story is impeccably researched, from the ice-floes on the Thames where Claire and Justin first meet, to the arguments around the enclosure of common land, to the music Claire decides to play. This is an entrancing novel with a most distinctive voice.
An Independent Heart

(...)The story moves fast and the writing is fine, witty dialogues and some really beautiful descriptive passages. There’s a bunch of little sisters who are rather fun, a tragic lovelorn cousin, a wise Spanish batman. The hero is both gentle and tough, and while the heroine comes across as aloof and cool (just look at the cover), I liked her a lot in the end, and even went back to the early chapters to search for clues to her character that I’d missed.
