LOUISA ELLIOTT – a big Victorian novel set in 1890s York, about Louisa’s affair with the dashing Irish cavalry officer, Robert Duncannon, and the effects upon her family, especially her cousin, the steadfast and loyal Edward Elliott.

Quote from cover: ‘York 1892 – Between gathering clouds, the rising sun shone out, casting the great west front into sudden shadow, but along the length of Minster Yard it was briefly brilliant, and Louisa gratefully raised her face to its warmth. Lifted by the Minster, her spirits were alight, no longer oppressed by the past, nor even by thoughts of an uncertain future. To be happy now was the thing, and to be aware of it.’
