The late 1800s: Three sisters. Three corners of the British Empire. Three lives intertwined... forever.

As he travels the British Empire, diplomat Charles Kittridge leaves behind three daughters: Ailsa in the Scottish Highlands; Li-an in Peking, China; and Genevra in Delhi, India. Bound by threads they neither see nor understand, the three sisters are haunted by their absent father—each in her own way. Creative and intuitive, they come together through their dreams in times of fear and need. Those dreams grow vivid, changing as these extraordinary women learn the lessons the Empire has to teach. And the all-important lessons within their own hearts. No matter the courage and passion, betrayal and loss they experience, their dreams never leave them as each discovers love.

In the end, they believe Charles Kittridge has the power to heal them. But the truth is far more complicated than any of them understand.

      February 1, 1989
      Set in the 1800s when the British empire stretched round the globe, this is the flowery, romantic tale of three sisters conceived by a peripatetic father. As a young man, English diplomat Charles Kittridge married a spirited girl from the Scottish Highlands, who, rather than leave the glens, remained there to bring up their fiery daughter Ailsa. Charles found solace with a strong-willed Chinese woman, and then in India with an unstable Englishwoman. His children by the three women were marked as outcasts: Ailsa, for later marrying a Sassenach like her father; Li-an by blue eyes in a land that despised Westerners; and Genevra, branded a bastard by proper English colonists. Bound by loss, anger and the gift of second sight, the three convene at their dying father's request. Scotland, China, and India are colorfully sketched, but Davis tells a remarkably similar story in all three settings. Dull predictability is the result. 100,000 ad/promo.

      Set in the 1800s, this is the flowery, romantic tale of three half-sisters, outcasts all, fathered by a roving Englishman. Bound by loss, anger and the gift of second sight, the trio convenes at their dying father's request. ``Scotland, China and India are colorfully sketched, but Davis tells a remarkably similar story in all three settings. Dull predictability is the result,'' concluded PW.
