White Roses of Ravensberg

Germany, late 19th century. Death row. The young Baroness Marie von Ravensberg awaits execution for the murder of her husband—the king has refused to pardon her. Her final plea is to her brother, Ludwig von Erlenstein: she asks him to take her young daughter into his care and raise her as his own. The execution takes place.

Nineteen years pass. Count Erlenstein's young daughters, Iris and Sigrid, lead active social lives. They are constantly inundated with admirers. One day, Count Marcel Hochwald appears at a reception. No longer young and melancholy, he is suddenly overcome with love for the charming Iris, but his heart is warmed by a sudden love affair with the charming Iris. The Count asks Erlenstein for his daughter's hand in marriage and discovers the secret of her origins...

"The White Roses of Ravensberg" is a Gothic novel, a captivating, multi-faceted saga with a well-written plot and wonderful comic supporting characters, which meticulously reconstructs the atmosphere of life in late 19th-century German aristocracy. It is highly recommended for fans of Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë.
