Produktbeschreibung
Struggling to make a living on his farm, Edward Martin defies an order from the smugglers to leave his barn doors open. The barn is set alight and the farmer dies trying to save his stock. As a consequence, the farm has to be sold and his family split up. His two elder daughters move to Abercombe, where Laura is to teach in the recently restored school, but the smuggling fraternity are infringing on her new life. She is forced to accept hospitality from Captain Charles Ryder when the opening of the school is delayed. Laura's life is never to be the same as she is caught up in Captain Ryder's troubles...a half-brother dishonourably discharged from the Royal Navy and now in the clutches of moneylenders, the ever-present threat from smugglers using the cove below the manor with its caves and its treacherous tides.
Autorenporträt
Daphne Gilfillan was born in Portsmouth. A lover of music, she played the piano and the 'cello, the latter very badly. On her marriage, she and her husband rented a converted landing craft on Wootton Creek in the Isle of Wight, before being moved to Chichester. Here they raised their daughter and son. An admirer of Georgette Heyer and Mary Stewart, Daphne worked for a time in the Portsmouth Public Libraries.
