Even as a boy working in his father's market stall in Camden, he was determined to become a merchant prince. Through hard work and a single-minded determination, James rises quickly through the ranks, with a loving wife, devoted children, and a lofty position in the Malvern & Malvern Company. But when back-to-back tragedies strike the Falconer home, shattering this idyllic life, it seems as though James might never recover his former glory ... until a royal summons gives him the chance to prove that he truly is a master of the game. 648 7 $a 1800-1901 $2 fast 650 0 $a Merchants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Businesspeople $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Commerçants $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Gens d'affaires $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Businesspeople. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842980 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Merchants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01017057 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Victoria, 1837-1901 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 2 $a Fictional Work 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 800 1 $a Bradford, Barbara Taylor, $d 1933- $t House of Falconer ; $v 1 941 $a 1 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240412010933.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=05C79C98F89211EE8A7114532DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
