About
This is the first book in the Lancastrian, Pleasant family trilogy, encompassing shocking events and unexpected tenderness.
The year is 1826, the loom breakers riots in and around Blackburn are imminent. Jane Pleasant lives a privileged, insular life at Bradbury Hall. Her abduction from a coach by a highwayman, for bargaining purposes, catapults her into a maelstrom of emotions. Excitement, fear, anguish and love are an intoxicating and addictive concoction, after an empty marriage to an older, gin-soaked husband.
Unputdownable to the end.
