Lady at the Lodge: An 18th Century English Saga (The Wentworth Family Regency Saga Series Book 3) Kindle Edition
Will the French Revolutionary army finally land on British shores…?
England and Britanny, 1796
Rumours of a planned French invasion of Britain have reached the British military leaders, prompting them to prepare their troops and mobilise their spies. Amid the unrest, the Wentworth family — Anglo-French aristocrats — continue to move forward with their lives.
After visiting Britanny — her birthplace — to put right a past wrong, Sempronie has returned to Devonshire. However, she has left an inheritance dispute behind her that could change the lives of the small Breton community that surround her old family estate.
Recovering from her recent illness, Amelia is sampling London society and getting involved with the abolitionist movement. But when a sinister figure from her past reappears on English shores, her safety is once again under threat.
Living peacefully at Chittesleigh Manor in Devonshire, Justin and Arabella are expecting their first child. Though grateful for her good fortune, Arabella is impatient with Justin’s cossetting and misses her old independence. And despite her good sense, her determination to be active seems set to land her in danger…

About the author
![Graham Ley](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/01Kv-W2ysOL._SY600_.png)
I chose to write historical romance novels in a saga about the period over two hundred years ago in the 1790s when England became drawn into a war with France, blending the history and local setting and adventures with romantic stories of a range of characters from very different backgrounds. The novels are a mixture of adventure, intrigue and romance, with love stories pushing strongly through each of the novels, and settings that vary from towns and elegant houses in Devon to the bustling life of the naval port of Plymouth, and through the lanes and villages and old manors of rural Brittany. I live in Devon myself, which is both friendly and wild in parts, with a coastline that faces Brittany in France, and the stories span both sides of the Channel, and reach out beyond to the French colony of Saint-Domingue in the Caribbean.
I travel throughout Devon constantly, and have spent many good times in Brittany too, walking down the streets and through the squares of fascinating towns, and being attracted by the magic of the magnificent stone rows at sites like Carnac, and the grand prehistoric tombs with their massive slabs of granite. Bringing characters together from both areas that I love is an attractive idea, and I hope readers will become immersed in the scenery and the unpredictability of the action, and touched by the hopes and fears and passions of the characters. The novels have a number of significant themes that recur, such as the impact of loyalty as well as desire on the motives of characters, and how much comes down in life so often to who can be trusted, and who cannot. The intensity of true feelings, and the humour and ironies apparent in human behaviour, are constant players in the unfolding stories of young characters who are trying to find their way in turbulent times.
My own background is as a Londoner who went abroad to New Zealand for some years, and teaching theatre history and arts has been my livelihood. My mother was a writer of regency romance novels, and my father was a journalist, whose family came from Devon. So as a child, my holidays were taken on the coast.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024This is a well researched novel and good insight into the Regency period. Family sagas can often be too much drama but this managed the intrigue and arch of character developments well!

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-researched historical drama
The background to this novel is extremely authentic. The author has clearly done his research meticulously. As far as the story goes, I particularly enjoyed the two abductions of the woman and the means used by their would-be rescuers to release them - exciting and well-drawn. However, the conclusion has many loose ends. We need to know more, and I hope the author plans a sequel to tell us what happened!
