Beschrijving

The ancestry of the Waring twin brothers and of Elma Clifford. Elma comes on her mother’s side from a line of gypsy snake dancers, and she displays a periodic urge to dance wildly with a feather boa in her bedroom. A murderous judge, multiple mistaken identities and scenes of tribal life in South Africa decorate this extraordinary novel, which is certainly a testament to Grant Allen’s versatility and grasp of the popular market.
