About the Book

"A truly engaging period romance written by an extremely thoughtful writer."
"Cyril Lucas writes with great intelligence, knowledge, wit and sensitivity."
"I loved it! When I wasn't reading it I was thinking about it, and when I finished I enjoyed reading it again just as much."

Set in 1799 in a castle on the windswept Dorset Coast, "A Windy Night" tells the story of Lady Lucy Greatjoy, newly married and expecting to embark upon a life of wedded bliss. Life however has other plans. Her marriage is in trouble before it has even started. The castle is crumbling to the ground. A winter storm wreaks havoc overnight destroying the town's fishing boats and leaving the community destitute. Soldiers arrive to investigate a smuggling operation, followed by a Press Gang out to seize unwilling conscripts for Naval Service. But then who ever said love or life was meant to be easy?

Much more than a conventional romance, "A Windy Night" transports the reader back in time to learn about life in Regency England from smuggling, to medicine, to military history and even the recipe for gunpowder. Its humor is intended to entertain readers looking for an amusing escape, but its pace, color, optimism and fun are underlain by serious themes. In 1799 British society was emerging into a new era. Advances in medical science, public education and social justice were in progress and historical information ranging is woven into the tale: all the intriguing historical facts are true.

The story's young heroine Lady Lucy is a forerunner of the modern woman, quickly proving herself capable of meeting the obligations of social privilege which settle upon her shoulders when she falls in love and marries an aristocratic husband. As Lady Lucy overcomes one challenge after another, she transforms not only her own life, but the lives of all those around her.

A request to readers: I hope you will give "A Windy Night" a chance and that you will enjoy it as much as other readers. If so, please come back and write a brief review when you have finished. Thanks ever so, Cyril!
