In the religious and romance tradition of Francine Rivers, Francine du Plexis Gray, Shelley Shepard Gray, Emmett Fox, Jane Austen and Karen Kingsbury, M.M. Thomas, an English author brings you a story with traditional themes and a new slant. This story centers on the feelings of the man. What do men think? How fashionable to wonder. Women readers and working women have been trying to figure it out. Many historical romances and modern novels deal with disappointment and conjecture.Do kindness, honor, and social values exist? Who strives for them? The author of Fraternity thinks yes. Not a novel of disappointment, Fraternity does talk about obstacles. Difficulties are the backdrop. What makes relationship difficult between the men and women? Equally important, what makes relationship possible? This romance has the added appeal because financier J.P. Morgan was attracted to it. It is easy to see why. Money and true love are the themes. Religious romance, romance, historical fiction, or fiction, the novel has it all. Without giving the plot away, it has all the themes making it a good novel – the reversal of fortune, mistaken identity, the exchange of places, romance, true love, and good will hunting. Set in the Welsh hills between a slate mining camp and a Welsh manor, the book has themes popular in the press of its day. Wealth is both despised and revered in the American and foreign press. How does a man follow his star and get his true love? Are the wealthy better than other people? What should the government ask or force people to do with their money? Are the wealthy wicked or benevolent people? What would it be like to walk in someone else’s shoes? What does a man about money and women?
