Summary

"Rose of the World" by Agnes Castle is a tale that transports us to British India, where Major Raymond Bethune, a dedicated soldier, wrestles with conflicting emotions for Lady Gerardine, a widow connected to his past. The story takes place in India to explore duty, love, and cultural clashes. When Bethune arrives at the Lieutenant-Governor's palace, the vibrant Aspasia Cuningham is a stark contrast to the tension between Bethune and Lady Gerardine. As Bethune hopes to pen a biography of her late husband, Captain English, he finds that his deep admiration for Lady Gerardine is met with her wish to keep the past buried.
