Flambards Divided

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flambards Divided (1981) is a sequel to the Flambards trilogy, written by K. M. Peyton. Many have objected, sometimes for political reasons, to the way it reverses the ending of the original trilogy; others have praised it (again sometimes for political reasons). The events in this book do not appear in the television series.

Flambards Divided continues the story of Christina, who is now married to Dick. No one approves of Christina's marriage to a peasant and the family runs into hardship. When Mark returns from the war in France, he is badly injured, although still his arrogant old self, and deeply resentful of Dick. Christina's old feelings are rekindled and she finds herself torn betweeen the two.
