The Rocks of Valpre is a novel written by Ethel May Dell and published in 1913. The story is set in the French Riviera and follows the life of a young woman named Alix. She is the daughter of a wealthy Englishman and has grown up in luxury, but she is not content with her life. She longs for adventure and excitement, and her wish is granted when she meets a handsome stranger named Maurice. Alix and Maurice fall in love, but their happiness is short-lived when Maurice is accused of a crime he did not commit. He is forced to flee, leaving Alix behind. Heartbroken, Alix must now navigate the treacherous waters of society without the man she loves. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. It also delves into the class divide between the wealthy English expatriates and the locals in the French Riviera. Dell’s vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people of the region bring the story to life, and her characters are richly drawn and complex. Overall, The Rocks of Valpre is a gripping tale of romance and adventure that will transport readers to a bygone era of glamour and intrigue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
