Bertha has always been a romantic person and dreamed of great love all her life. However, both men, to whom she once gave her heart, were created, for the most part, by her imagination. Farmer Craddock, who has made his way into large landowners, is a kind, but rude and down–to-earth man, unable to appreciate the strength and depth of his wife's personality. And young Gerald, on the contrary, is a vicious, angry at the whole world, cynical boy, in whom all the disappointment in the life of the "golden youth" seems to have concentrated. So will Mrs. Craddock be able to find such a desirable happiness with one of them?The once wealthy and respected Allerton family is ruined. Young idealist Lucy seeks to correct the mistakes of her father and restore the good name of the family. The fearless conqueror of Africa and a true gentleman Alec Mackenzie is ready to help his beloved in this and takes her frivolous younger brother George on an expedition to Africa. A novel about love, honor and betrayal, which will make you laugh merrily, then sincerely sympathize with the heroes.
