An enigmatic gaze from a young girl in a neglected portrait, obscured by a veil of yellowed varnish, reached out to a dealer in Cornish art when it was spotted in a Midlands saleroom.The artist was John Opie, the 18th century self-taught "Cornish Wonder", who was famously described by Sir Joshua Reynolds as being "like Caravaggio and Velazquez in one".This monograph describes the exciting discovery and careful restoration of a portrait which can now rightfully claim it's place as a Cornish masterpiece.It reaches into the murky depths of history to shed light on the remarkable life of the sitter, Lydia Gwennap, and takes us from her humble roots in Cornwall to the fashionable environs of London during an age of important social and cultural reform.Lydia was a true daughter of Falmouth, and finally, some 240 years after her birth, her story can be told...

If only everyone could be as happy as they are... Darcy and Elizabeth are as much in love as ever—even more so as their relationship matures. Their passion inspires everyone around them, and as winter turns to spring, romance blossoms around them. Confirmed bachelor Richard Fitzwilliam sets his sights on a seemingly unattainable, beautiful widow; Georgiana Darcy learns to flirt outrageously; the very flighty Kitty Bennet develops her first crush, and Caroline Bingley meets her match. But the path of true love never does run smooth, and Elizabeth and Darcy are kept busy navigating their friends and loved ones through the inevitable separations, misunderstandings, misgivings, and lovers' quarrels to reach their own happily ever afters... Praise for Sharon Lathan: "The everlasting love between Darcy and Lizzy will leave more than one reader swooning." —A Bibliophile's Bookshelf "If you love Pride and Prejudice sequels then this series should be on the top of your list!" —Royal Reviews "Sharon really knows how to make Regency come alive." —Love Romance Passion "The way Ms. Lathan allows the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth to evolve is wonderful and will surely induce a contented sigh from all romantics." —Once Upon a Romance "A heartfelt enjoyable story filled with passion and warmth. Beautifully written." —Anna's Book Blog "Jane Austen fan or not—you're going to love this author's interpretation of life after the wedding as Darcy and Lizzy begin a honeymoon that looks to last forever. Very highly recommended reading." —CK2's Kwips & Kritiques
