Description
Eloise held her brand new baby daughter to her breast and felt her heart break at the thought she would never see her grow up, never know her at all.
When Eloise, a young American girl, meets handsome Dr Thomas Norton in the boiling Boston summer of 1890 she believes herself to be in love. But Eloise soon finds herself in a desperate situation that could see her alienated from her family and all of Boston society.
With her maid and confidant, Rosie, she travels to Devon, England, where her life is changed forever. Forced to take a heartbreaking decision she returns to the USA where she tries to resume her previous life. But the trauma she has experienced threatens to deny her any future happiness until she finds love from an unexpected source.
Will Eloise be able to grasp the opportunity to find closure for her broken heart?
Advance Praise
"In this compelling love story set against the backdrop of 1890’s Boston and a village in Devon, the author skillfully weaves together the past and the present through the view points of different characters. This book is not only a story about love but a narrative that explores the complexities of society, feminism, class and the resilience of the human spirit. A powerful gripping tale that I was unable to put down! I would definitely recommend this book!" - Goodreads review
"I loved this book, it captured my imagination from the start. The characters are well drawn and the storyline keeps you engaged and interested. The book, though set in Boston USA and Devon UK in the 1890’s, explores important contemporary themes, not least the way women seek to find fulfilment within a male dominated world." - Amazon review
