Publisher Description: Collins's third novel, published in 1854; dedicated to Charles Dickens 'As a token of admiration and affection'. The artist Valentine Blyth has a very generous heart. He lovingly cares for his invalid wife, rescues a deaf orphan girl from maltreatment in a traveling circus and adopts her, and mentors a young man who gets in trouble with his tyrannical father. The girl, who received the nickname 'Madonna', falls in love with the young man, Zack. Because one of Valentine's biggest fears is that Madonna's blood relations will one day trace her and take her away from his home, he keeps the little that he knows of her origins a strict secret. One day, Zack befriends a mysterious stranger, who has just returned from years of rough life in the American wilderness. From that moment, the plot thickens, in mid-19th century dramatic style. |
