INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS: In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy. Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East.    Two of John Anson's wishes were granted on the same day. He was offered an important post in the State of Gaupal and Sandra Beauchamp promised to marry him. On that day he also met Rose Lian, the beautiful girl, who, he was told, was of mixed French and Gaupali blood. Their destinies and that of Charles Garrison, a figure from Sandra's past, were to be strangely linked in this romance set against a far eastern background.Vivian Stuart was a British writer and during her writing career she had more than 70 books published in Australia, USA and the UK. Born in Berkshire in England, she spent most of her youth in Burma and India, and later lived in Hungary and Australia. During WWII, she served in the Women's Unit attached to the Indian Army; she is the holder of the Burma Star. At the age of thirty-five she began to write romantic fiction but soon devoted her attention to military and historical novels. From the warp and woof of what we call history, she has told the story of ordinary people living under the shadow of an appalling disaster, so that other ordinary people may read it with understanding, interest, and enjoyment and, perhaps, a few tears.
