Prisoner of Grace
By Joyce Cary
Bewitchingly beautiful Nina Woodville is an intelligent and sensual woman.
Brought up with her cousin, Jim Latter, at eighteen she is forced into marriage with aspiring politician Chester Nimmo.
Chester pursues his political career with fierce ambition while Nina, though disturbed by his religious zeal, tries to be a supportive wife. But mutual passion binds Nina and Jim together and their destinies become entwined – with tragic consequences.
Prisoner of Grace is the first volume of Cary’s Chester Nimmo trilogy, which continues with Except the Lord and Not Honour More.
