In a time of rampant imperialism, feisty Judith Armstrong is determined to fight for the rights of impoverished women in a masculine world - that is until a demonstration deteriorates into a riot, bringing her into conflict with Ralph Gilchrist, a well-born officer in Her Majesty's Dragoon Guards. Judith's spirited approach to Women's Rights and freedom inevitably clashes with Ralph's decidedly conservative and typically Victorian views. Sparks fly, but despite their mutual attraction, scandal forces her to leave Britain for a mission station in the British colony of Natal. Britain is struggling to maintain its empire in the face of the demands of a growing democracy at home and the rising powers of Germany, America and Russia abroad. These tensions are set to play out in southern Africa, where diamonds have been discovered and it has suddenly become that much more important to cement the Empire's hold on the territory. In the fledgling colony of Natal, a power struggle between the British and the Zulu Kingdom grows, and it is here that Judith and Ralph are destined to meet again - but this time on the blood-soaked battlefields of Zululand at the fateful Battle of Isandlwana."--Publisher. 650 0 $a Isandlwana, Battle of, South Africa, 1879 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Zulu War, 1879 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a British $z South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107175 651 0 $a KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) $v Fiction. 611 07 $a Isandlwana, Battle of (South Africa : 1879) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00979708 611 27 $a Zulu War (1879) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01184909 650 7 $a British. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00839044 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 651 7 $a South Africa $z KwaZulu-Natal. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01272825 648 7 $a 1879 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230033629.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=238A8836ED3011E78644BA0B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
