It is the turn of the eighteenth century. A boat is wrecked on the Cornish shore, and an orphaned baby is rescued by local fisherman, John Prother. The Prother’s have lost their own sons to the stormy sea, and only have one daughter - Prue - still surviving. So they decided to adopt the orphan, and name him James. But with her parents unable to love the foundling, Prue becomes his main carer. As James grows up he weaves fantasies of his own heritage, convinced that he is destined for something greater than the poor, provincial Cornish village he has been raised. When Prue reaches adolescence she is sent to work at Shawcross Hall, and James is left to fend for himself. Prue becomes ladies maid to Arabella Lamprey, the young mistress of the hall, and the minute James is introduced to her, he becomes captivated by her. He vows to make his fortune… by any means possible. James rises to influence and moves to London’s Grosvenor Square, having taken London by storm in the days of the Regency. Arabella falls madly in love with him, but she is a girl as self-willed and as fearless as himself. But James is consumed by arrogance and bitterness. And his fragile position in society threatens to be destroyed by the rumours concerning his parentage. As James becomes ever more grasping, will he destroy everything he ever cared about? Will Arabella prove too strong willed even for him? Or will this Sea Urchin learn to find peace? 'A memorable story.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'. ‘Sea Urchin’ is a dark regency romance exploring the dangers of passion and ambition. It is perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer, Jane Aiken Hodge and the Bronte Sisters. Adelaide Q Roby’s ambition as a child was to ‘write a book with hard covers’ and during her childhood she wrote several plays featuring herself and her younger brothers in a series of adventures. Later one of her adult plays was on the point of being produced at a Liverpool theatre when war broke out and it was shelved. As well as ‘Sea Urchin’ (which was published posthumously), she is the author of ‘The Pindars’, ‘Siren Song’ and ‘White Harvest’. Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent publisher of digital books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Nature versus Nurture By Bichon Mom This is a well written historical novel that captures the tone of the class system in the UK in the early nineteenth century. The author does a good job of writing in the Cornish dialect, though that is mainly in the first half of the book.Sea Urchin is the adult nickname of James, the baby rescued from a shipwreck and raised by a fisherman's family. The story follows his life through the eyes of the daughter of the family who takes her role as big sister immediately to heart. James is sure that he was born to better things and his ambition becomes apparent at an early age. The story begs the age old question of nature versus nurture.The characterizations are good and the proofreading and editing have made this an enjoyable read uninterrupted by disconcerting typos and errors.
