New Edwardian Historical Romance Novel from Debut Author, Nancy Moore
Vagabondage Romance launches historical
romance novel, THE VICAR OF WRYNBURY, by debut author Nancy Moore. The book
explores the lives of Ann Gladwyn and Cyril Dunstan as old world propriety and
formality slips away under the stresses of The Great War in turn of the century
England.
As the Edwardian era fades
into WWI, Cyril Dunstan, a man with a mysterious past, accepts the post as
vicar in a small country town of Wrynbury. His benefactor and only ally, Anne
Gladwyn, repeatedly attempts to assist the reticent and surly vicar with the
task of reviving the dilapidated village church against all odds. Anne hopes to
find some purpose to her dull and unsatisfying life as well as solve the
mystery of the vicar’s history and demeanor. Their journals and accounts show
the tenuous beginnings of a partnership that turns into a friendship then
blossoms into a passionate emotional tie that could destroy all they have
worked for. In a time when religious and social constructs would never allow
the two to satisfy their desires, they must decide what to sacrifice in order
to have happiness during the tumultuous early days of the 20th
Century.
"Fans of the Downton
Abbey television and other period pieces and costume dramas will fall in love with the tumultuous
drama as Ann and Dunstan learn to navigate the changing values
of the new century," says managing editor, Fawn Neun. "Ann is the
epitome of the new woman, headstrong and passionate, and she has her hands full
convincing the staid vicar, Cyril Dunstan, to lead with his heart.
"Many readers
romanticize the Victorian and Edwardian era as a time of proper etiquette, prim
manors, and a focus on beauty and elegance," Ms. Neun continues. "Behind
these stoic facades and social rituals were men and women who wanted love and affection
and relationships were they could feel fulfilled both in and out of the
bedroom. Ms. Moore's novel bravely and honestly addresses how two people face
these challenges and what they ultimately find they need to sacrifice."
Nancy Moore graduated from Truman State University,
and has worked in publishing, marketing, journalism, and in the non-profit
field. She is an unabashed Anglophile who loves Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Sherlock as well as any historical drama
series to come out of the U.K. She currently lives in St. Louis with "the
greatest guy ever," her cat, and dog.
