About This Book

IN THE BROODING NORTH COUNTRY HILLS, A MAN AND A WOMAN FOUGHT FOR THE PASSION THAT THE WORLD BRANDED A DISGRACE...

Agnes Thorman- the proud, forlorn mistress of a once-grand estate, society forbade her the man who was her equal in all but name...

Robert Bradley- a gifted craftsman, as visionary and challenging as the dawning new age ... yet to seize his dream could destroy the woman he loved...

Millicent Thorman- the strange, wise girl-child fated to play a shocking part in the lovers' unfolding destiny...

When Robert Bradley gave up his job in the Jarrow shipyards to work at his uncle's old-established carpenter's shop in a small village, he found that life with domineering Uncle John did not always prove easy. As a diversion, he began exploring the Durham countryside and it was there that he had his first strange encounter with Millie, the ethereal girl-child whose odd ways and nocturnal wanderings had led her to be known locally as Thorman's Moth: The time came when a dramatic turn in Robert's affairs brought him into a close involvement with the Thormans of Foreshaw and especially with the elder daughter, Agnes, who alone of the family loved and protected the frail, unworldly Millie. But this was 1913, and anything beyond the most formal relationship had to face the barriers and injustices of a rigid social hierarchy that was soon to perish in the flames of war.
