The Dying Of The Light: A Novel [Large Print]

Diana Cooke was “born with the century” and came of age just after WWI. The daughter of landed Southern gentry, she knew early that her parents had only one asset, besides her: their stately house, Saratoga. But the Cookes were too land-poor to keep the house up, and without a rich husband, Diana could well lose the mansion that had defined her family for five generations.

Enter Captain Copperton, a stranger with no blood-line but plenty of cash. A Cooke-Copperton marriage seemed to be of benefit to everyone, except for one thing. Copperton was cruel as well as vulgar and Diana could hardly bear him. Luckily, she didn’t have to put up with him for too long . . . but when their grown son eventually returns to Saratoga with his college roommate, the real scandal begins.
