Spanning 60+ years, beginning on the day Waterloo was won, it is a multigenerational story of 3 families during the Industrial Revolution. Lots of detailed descriptions of life among the varied social classes, it has been likened to stories by Dickens. It’s a very good historical fiction. A tontine is a life insurance scheme, stratified by age. Enrollees received payouts after an initial growth period, the amounts determined by the number of living recipients. Over time, as participants died, the payouts became more and more substantial. Towards the end, when the recipients became a mere handful, all sorts of betting occurred in the general populace on who would be the last survivor.

Richard O'Rawn had lived a long, full life. He had attained material success. He had served his country well in the United States Senate, loved and respected by his constituents and the rest of the nation. Now that his life was almost at an end, Senator O'Rawn had to share the mystery he had kept secret for so many years with someone else. It was a mystery set in lusty Plantagenet England and revolving around Eleanor of Aquitaine, her granddaughter--the beautiful "lost princess"--and the historic signing of the Magna Carta. Together with a young American writer, Richard O'Rawn would take his last journey back through the centuries--a journey rich with intrigue, romance, and adventure.
