Journey to a Star

The dashing Marquis of Oakenshaw is asked by the Foreign Secretary to visit Siam to reassure the King who has been upset by Britain and France quarrelling over the frontiers.
Wealthy, handsome and a confirmed bachelor, the Marquis asks several friends to accompany him on his yacht to stave off the boredom of the long journey, including the latest Social Beauty — the recently widowed Lady Bradwell.
At the last moment, Lady Bradwell, having accepted excitedly, finds herself without a lady’s maid. Her cousin Tarina, also very beautiful but extremely poor, agrees to come with her under a disguised name.
How Tarina learns for the first time of the intrigues and temptations of Society but how she also lifts her eyes to the stars is told in this romance novel by Barbara Cartland.

    Hi there!. I just finished reading your story, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The way you crafted the world and brought the characters to life, with such emotion, atmosphere, and depth, was absolutely captivating. I felt completely immersed from beginning to end. As I read, I couldn’t help but picture it as a comic. Your storytelling has a vivid, cinematic quality that I believe would translate beautifully into a visual format. I’m a freelance artist who specializes in transforming powerful stories into expressive, narrative-driven comics, and I’d be genuinely excited to explore a potential collaboration with you.. Of course, no pressure, just wanted to reach out in case that’s something you’ve ever considered. If you're curious or just want to talk more about the idea, I’d love to connect.
