Gerald and Elizabeth
By D E Stevenson
An intriguing and captivating tale of challenge, struggle, and the power of sibling affection.
Gerald Brown is a handsome and brilliant young engineer. But he has been framed – and fired – for the theft of diamonds from his firm. Ashamed and angry, he falls into mental despair as he returns to London.
While there, he stays with his half-sister Elizabeth Burleigh — a beautiful and celebrated West End actress. However, like Gerald, Elizabeth is deeply ashamed, and denies herself the happiness she desires.
Together, the siblings face challenges both practical and moral, and battle with their hopes and fears. Gerald and Elizabeth is an acutely-observed and insightful novel from D. E. Stevenson, and shows the perception and lightness of touch so often associated with that writer. It is a treat for Stevenson’s many admirers, and a great introduction to her work.
Praise for Gerald and Elizabeth:
‘A novel of people and relationships that is timeless.’ – Amazon review
‘If not familiar with Stevenson, I suggest starting with Gerald and Elizabeth … The true secret to Stevenson’s success, for she was very popular in her day, is how her characters are so likeable and how the plot is so plausible…’ – Goodreads review
