A vivid, heartfelt evocation of the South Downs, Alice Lorraine follows lives braided through village lanes, weathered by memory and steadfast friendship. This is historical fiction with a keen sense of place, where everyday acts-a neighbour's help, a shared harvest, a quiet romance-ignite larger questions about honour, trust, and belonging. The novel's rhythm and landscape invite readers to walk the brae-hedged paths of a rural community, to feel the hush of late autumn and the glow of well-tended hearths.

A vivid, heartfelt evocation of the South Downs, Alice Lorraine follows lives braided through village lanes, weathered by memory and steadfast friendship. This is historical fiction with a keen sense of place, where everyday acts-a neighbour's help, a shared harvest, a quiet romance-ignite larger questions about honour, trust, and belonging. The novel's rhythm and landscape invite readers to walk the brae-hedged paths of a rural community, to feel the hush of late autumn and the glow of well-tended hearths. Alpha Editions restores this cherished tale for today's readers and tomorrow's collectors. The book's enduring appeal lies in its layered themes-duty and desire, tradition and change-set against a recognisable Victorian England. It stands as a prime example of regional literature, offering a window into rural life with warmth, honesty, and literary grace. The work also holds a quiet resonance for fans of Lorna Doone parallels, drawing connections between regional temperaments and the moral stakes of small-town life. This is more than a reprint; it is a complete edition that invites casual readers to discover a timeless romance and scholars to trace a chapter in English rural storytelling. It's a cultural treasure, restored for contemporary shelves and future generations, a must for classic literature readers and educational reading lists alike. A true collector's item for those who treasure intricate character webs and the texture of a long-remembered landscape.
