Driven and idealistic, India chooses to work in the city’s East End instead, serving the desperately poor.<BR/>In these grim streets, India meets --- and saves the life of --- London’s most notorious gangster, Sid Malone. A hard, wounded man, Malone is the opposite of India’s aristocratic fiancé, Freddie Lytton, a rising star in the House of Commons. Though Malone represents all she despises, India finds herself drawn to him, intrigued by his hidden, mysterious past. <BR/>Though they fight hard against their feelings, India and Sid fall in love, and their passionate and bittersweet affair causes destruction they could never have imagined. Sweeping from London to Kenya to the wild, remote coast of California, Jennifer Donnelly's epic historical novel THE WINTER ROSE (Hyperion; hardcover; on-sale January 8th) follows the saga of the Finnegan family, who first appeared in THE TEA ROSE. <BR/>I am writing on behalf of Hyperion to see if you would like to receive a copy of THE WINTER ROSE to review or discuss on your website. Jennifer Donnelly is available for interviews and to serve as a guest writer for sites/blogs. <BR/> <BR/>Please contact me for a review copy, to request an interview with Jennifer Donnelly, or if you have any questions or comments. Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/>Anna JarzabAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17980209920002155457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540555463112254775.post-9920100949896970332008-01-02T16:51:00.000-05:002008-01-02T16:51:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096644441493559481noreply@blogger.com
