[close] 1821 and Britain has a new king. Rear Admiral Roger Ellis has long considered His Majesty George IV to be an ungracious, mean-spirited blackguard, but even he would admit that his attempt to smuggle the king’s estranged wife, Queen Caroline, through the back door of Westminster Abbey so that she could attend the coronation of her odious husband was somewhat misguided. And so Roger finds himself fleeing to Italy, with his whole family in tow, hotly pursued by the king’s bullies bent on serving out a good basting that would see our hero trundling around in a Bath chair for the remainder of his days. But the cradle of western civilisation soon proves just as dangerous, as Roger encounters prurient princes, pagan rituals, banditti, and bad Lord Byron in a wild ride through Tuscany and Rome that finally takes him to the shimmering lake in the Alban Hills that has forever been known as the Mirror of Diana.

Infinity, Infinity, and a Palm Tree by Clara White will take you on a rollercoaster ride of time travel through different reincarnations. It will allow you to glimpse the scenes from naval battles between ancient Greece and Persia to the Italian Renaissance; from the spark of the suffrage movement in England to the heyday of Impressionism in France; and from the Great Depression, World War II, and the dissolution of the USSR to the end of democracy in Russia. All of this is mixed with one woman’s dramatic present-day story. You will hear how she moved to the US after finding love; survived a near-death illness before having a child; and faced strains in her marriage after the invasion of Ukraine. How far can one person go to salvage her love without sacrificing her identity? Are you ready? Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
