One fateful morning in August 1846, Patrick Feeney surveyed his ruined potato crop - and for the first time knew despair. With a delicate wife and their unborn child, he had no choice but to leave that wild and beautiful corner of Ireland and set out for England in search of work. But from the moment Patrick and Mary set foot in Liverpool, they are beset by new trials. After tramping the long, weary miles to York, they are forced to settle in the nightmarish slums of Walmgate, where disease and death are rife. Yet the very poverty and hopelessness of their surroundings bind the small community together in a stubborn determination to survive through tragedy and win for themselves a better life.

A stunning saga set in the city of York, as a poor boy falls for a rich girl -- a tale of passion, poverty, and ultimately great bravery as they fight to keep together against everyone's expectations. Marty Lanegan is working as a boot boy in York's splendid Station Hotel when he catches sight of the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. Henrietta Ibbetson is the daughter of a prominent landowner, who's far from pleased with his rebellious daughter. When she announces her love for a mere servant, he throws her out. Marty's family is none too delighted with his choice -- Etta can't cook, sew, clean or make herself useful in any way. However, Marty is ambitious, Etta is content and they are wildly in love. But is that enough to sustain them as they raise a family of their own? Sheelagh Kelly is back with a tremendously compelling saga of life below the poverty line in her home town of York, as the rigid conventions of Edwardian England crumble in the onslaught of the Great War -- and her characters face the changes with warmth, humour and determination.

Probyn Kilmaster, wanting more from life, runs away to join the army. On his first posting he becomes involved with a woman, and makes her his wife. But when she starts to boss him around, Probyn searches for escape. He is sent back to England, only to fall in love and marry.

First published in 1987 and now reissued, a romantic saga set in Yorkshire and Ireland in the 1870s. A couple who have left the squalor of the slums, look to their grandchildren to fill the chasm of sadness created by the fiery death of their son and the actions of a rebellious granddaughter. From the author of A LONG WAY FROM HEAVEN.
