Description
England in the early 19th century. Anne Garland has to choose between three suitors as she prepares for a possible French invasion.
1804. Great Britain prepares to repel the invasion of French forces. Coastal resort towns turn into military camps; warships replace the quiet pleasure yachts moored at the piers.
And ordinary people continue living as before—wealthy widow Martha Garland is no exception. Most of all, she is concerned about her daughter’s marriage—Ann Garland, the first local beauty—whose hand and heart are being courted by three suitors at once: both the neighbor’s sons— the older trumpeter of the regiment, serious and restrained John Lavdey, and his younger brother, the cheerful and sociable sailor Bob— and the pompous, cowardly, and vain nobleman Festus Derriman. But the proud Ann is still hesitating to choose someone from her enamored trio…
