ruth is a very pretty and smart girl in vienna. she is in love with her distant
cousin, the brilliant pianist heini. when war strikes and she is left behind in
vienna by unfortunate circumstances, previous family acquaintance professor quin
somerville comes to the rescue. he offers marriage based on the morning gift,
which is a gift a husband gives his wife after their first married night. after
she receives it, their marriage is technically not valid. he has no links to her
and her kids don't inherit. but when she escapes with quin to england, the
consequences of her decision are incredible, unexpected and exceedingly
romantic... :D to end things off I'll put this quote which I saw on the cover: they were not supposed to fall in love... (it was the quote that pulled
me to hunt for the book even tho I didnt even know what it was about. after a company of swans, how could I doubt eva's writing ability?
