Stella Fregelius' explores spiritual and mystical themes in stark contrast to Haggard's hallmark exotic adventure stories. It is a romantic but nonetheless profound story about an investor named Morris who is forced to marry his cousin, only to fall in love with another woman shortly thereafter. This is, however, not a book with a happy ending. Misfortune strikes and a death occurs in tragic circumstances, leaving Morris utterly devastated and in mourning. Could there be something even more sinister and cruel coming for Morris' heart and soul? Is death, ruin and loss just the harbinger of more to come? A uniquely heartfelt and touching exploration of the idea of eternal love. Haggard's tale is a subtle but beautiful and brilliant discussion about the nature of life, death, tragedy, religion and the afterlife from Theodore Roosevelt's favourite author.
