The World Moves On
“THE LOVE STORY OF A CENTURY THEIR love IS YOUR LOVE THEIR fear IS YOUR FEAR THEIR hope IS YOUR HOPE”
Two families, cotton merchants in England and America, with branches in France and Prussia swear to stand by each other in a belief that a great business firmly established in four countries will be able to withstand even such another calamity as the Napoleonic Wars from which Europe is slowly recovering. Then many years later, along comes World War One and the years that follow, to test the businesses.
