On a ship loaded with dynamite Conrad's most charming and elusive heroine faces her destiny. In this romantic and disturbing story, Flora de Barral escapes her menacing and possessive financier-father, to take refuge in the arms of an aggressive sea captain. Yet there is more to Flora than the persecuted maiden, and the drama that unfolds between the three of them is as unexpected as it is enthralling.
Such was the popularity of Chance that Conrad, after decades of struggle, at last found a degree of fame and financial security.
