The Prussian Captain Publisher's summary

The year 1898: Edward turned 29 years old on the ship. Looking out over the gray water back toward America, his heart ached for both the country he had adopted and loved and for the woman he had lost there. He was returning to England without having "made good". Without any fortune.

When Edward meets Gertrude and is captivated by her youth and beauty, his hope for the future is transformed. But this is an era when the rich and poor of England each have their own firmly defined limits. More than any social boundary is a far greater problem - he's already married.

Giving a glimpse into the realities of the very wealthy and the desperately impoverished of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, The Prussian Captain is the story of two opposite lives colliding. One is marked by finery, decorum, servants, and first-class adventures crisscrossing the Atlantic. The other is stuck in a life of abuse, alcoholism, and the depressed state of the working poor of industrialized England.
