p.d.r. lindsay (no capitals please in tribute to a favourite poet, e. e. cummings) makes New Zealand home. Born in Ireland, brought up in Yorkshire, educated in England, Canada and New Zealand, writer p.d.r. lindsay is also Mrs Salmon, Ms Lindsay-Salmon and even for eight years in Japan, Professor Lindsay-Salmon. This wide experience of different cultures colours her writing and keeps her travelling.
Social issues are her main concern which is why she writes historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of parsons and farmers, wives and daughters, merchants and tradesmen showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today.
Bryce Ackerman returns home from a business trip to Vienna expecting to marry his beloved Aimée in June. But scandal, she is pregnant. This is 1872 and Bryce is a Victorian gentleman who doesn't believe in sex before marriage. Aimée, distraught and disgraced, tells him of the officers from two Indian regiments, who were certainly not officers and gentlemen when they visited her family home. Outraged and furious Bryce hunts the soldiers back to India. He will have his revenge for Aimée, and justice for all the other young women victims. It is no easy task. The officers will do anything to escape retribution and Bryce has to learn to put personal vengeance on one side to secure justice for all.
