Produktbeschreibung
Sent to Saskatchewan, Canada by her over-bearing Mother-in-law, Emily and her new husband, Paul, find themselves in a hostile environment. Not only is the countryside vastly different from the soft rolling hills of middle England but the atmosphere of their new home, Westbury Farm, is ripe with tension. Sharing the house with Paul's brother, Simon, a former love of Emily's, the malicious and salacious housekeeper, Helena Parker, and Parker's twins, Sarah and John only leads to conflicts and confrontations. Emily and Paul are facing their own personal problem. She wants to start a family but he is not interested. Then when a fall from her favourite horse causes a second miscarriage Emily slips into despair. After her physical recovery she takes solace in nurturing the twins which leads to more veiled threats and clashes. But she persists and with Simon's backing she wins out in the end. A tenacious woman who is, as yet, unaware of her inner resolve, Emily faces the challenges of her new life with steadfast single-mindedness. Paul's absences and Simon's presence further her secret determination to leave Westbury and create a home of her own. A Canadian historical novel for readers who enjoy a good narrative.
