Rossetti is a young charismatic artist
who falls in love with his model Lizzie Siddal, she agrees to sit for him exclusively. But he has many admirers
that sour their relations. And he is not the only Pre-Raphaelite that has difficulty with his relationships. Millais
falls in love with art critic John Ruskin’s wife. And Hunt gets engaged to Annie Miller, but Annie finds that he
is no longer happy with her as he used to be. And if that is not enough, to make matters worse, Hunt and Millais
decide to go to work in Palestine, but they have not invited their good friend Rossetti along with them. Rossetti goes to
visit Hunt only to find he has already left for the east. Annie invites him in and they share their troubles with one another.
But Lizzie cannot take anymore of her lover's nonsense, she goes where she pleases and does whatever she likes.
Review So,
Rossetti finished! A very touching conclusion, I feel as though a group of friends I’d got to know
well have suddenly packed up and emigrated to the Far East. All those interwoven lives and fortunes, ending as it began with
Christina, and famous people presented in their day to day affairs. I haven’t read a book quite like it.

The Waterfall is 4 miles from the little village of Llanrhaeadr-Y-Mochnant
which is 14 miles from Oswestry Shropshire. There is a single track lane from the village to the Waterfall, but big enough
for buses and cars to pass by on coming vehicles. Remember to toot your horn at bends.
