The Way of an Eagle

This tumultuous 1919 novel — one of Virago’s trio of old-fashioned erotic best-sellers along with E M Hull’s The Sheik and Elinor Glyn’s Three Weeks — opens in India, as scapegrace Nick Ratcliffe rescues Muriel, the general’s daughter, from dire peril. Repelled yet fascinated by his mockery and ferocity — his way of an eagle — she agrees to a betrothal, then breaks it off for clean-cut Blake Grange. Back in England, Muriel gradually learns the truth of her feelings — and of Blake’s. But when she returns to India Nick, now maimed in his country’s service, is nowhere to be seen — until new peril strikes.
