*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Set in the conservative French-speaking community of Sagamore Falls, a fictional New Hampshire mill town, Courtship in Purgatory portrays parental control over middle-aged offspring in an upper-middle-class family. When protagonist Victoria discovers a disturbing entry in her deceased father's journal, she relives a painful episode dating back a quarter-century, from which she had healed. At 33, Victoria lived a sheltered existence with her parents. Although she adored them, especially her father-she worshipped the water he walked on-she hoped to marry Lucien, whose working-class status did not measure up to her parents' standards. Consequently, her father separated the lovers via a secret plot that threatened to smear Lucien's image in Victoria's eyes. Caught between the two men she loved, she wondered: Should she follow her conscience by obeying her father? Or should she follow her heart without knowing if Lucien was the morally upstanding man he appeared to be?
