What to expect

Far from home, she never gave up hope…

A heart-warming tale from the Queen of West Country Saga, Linda Finlay.

The Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author Dilly Court says Linda Finlay is ‘SURE TO DELIGHT’!

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW.

London, 1910. A cruel twist of fate means Daisy must give up the job she loves painting for a theatre company and move to Devon. Only the silver bangle she wears on her wrist brings comfort, reminding her of a young man who once promised her his heart.

In Devon, life is very different. Lodging with her uncle at his busy tavern, Daisy must scrub and serve for her keep. And when her uncle catches her sketching, he is furious and forbids her to draw.

But a chance meeting with two travelling artists offers Daisy a different path, and steeling her courage, Daisy runs away with them to Lamorna, Cornwall, home to a famous group of bohemian artists…

This heart-warming tale of love and triumph from Linda Finlay, the Queen of West Country saga, will enchant readers.
