Winter rose #2
Donnelly, Jennifer
Notes
Pbk. edSummary: Set in London and Africa in the early days of the twentieth century. India Selwyn-Jones is one of the rare new breed: a woman doctor. Her family, her fiance, and the male medical establishment all object, but she insists on defying convention and finds a post in London's East End. There she meets a gangland boss called Sid Malone. Criminal he may be but he is also charming and attractive, and when India is called to treat him after a dockside brawl, their friendship becomes more intense. But Sid Malone is not his real name: and he has a past and enemies by the score, including India's determined and ruthless fiance whose intention is to marry into the family money as well as becoming a leading political figure. The stormy, noisy, brawling docklands are a natural home to the political fight as the fledgling Labour Party gets underway, and the struggle for the women's vote becomes more strident
