The Rider in Khaki: A Novel

"The Rider in Khaki: A Novel" by Nat Gould is a story that throws us into the life of Alan Chesney as he returns home to his family estate. The book is like a window into the early 1900s, circling around themes of love, what people expect of you, and doing what's right. As Alan deals with his feelings for the fascinating Evelyn Berkeley, readers get a taste of how high society worked back then. We also meet Jane Thrush, who is very different from the rich folks and loves nature. The book starts by showing friendships and hints at secrets to come, like a German spy, turning Alan’s peaceful life upside down and foreshadowing a world about to face the chaos of war.
