Book Synopsis: Set in the not-to-distant future on the raw, blustery English seacoast of Cornwall. RULE BRITANNIA is the rousing saga of an indomitable woman who takes on the combined might of the British and American armed forces.
Known to all as Madam, she had retired after a brilliant theatrical career. Then she took in Emma -- left motherless as a child -- and the six boys, orphan whom nobody wanted. Suddenly one day their lives are transformed as England and America join forces in an economic and strategic alliance, and American airplanes and troops swarm over the little town to "protect" England from retaliatory invasion. But they hadn't asked Madam! She leads the local protest forces, including irate villagers, her own brood of boys, and -- she hopes -- Emma, and pulls off a spectacular maneuver that carries the day. RULE BRITANNIA is a provocative new addition to the great du Maurier tradition -- a tradition that includes such treasured bestsellers as REBECCA and DON'T LOOK NOW.
