Reseña del editor

CAST A LONG SHADOW - July, 1873 - a scorching summer's day, seemingly perfect for the wedding of Ellen Wainwright and Richard Lancy. But instead the ceremony is interrupted by the arrival of a stray dog, howling in apparent protest at the imminent union. For the locals the dog becomes a kind of omen, a portent of troubles ahead...
THE TWO FARMS - Deep in the heart of mid-nineteenth century Gloucestershire lie two farms, set on either side of the meandering Timmy Brook. Peele Farm is thriving and prosperous, but Morris Riddler of Godsakes is heading inexorably for bankruptcy through bad luck and strong-headed mismanagement. And John Sutton of Peele is waiting, vulture-like, for the rival farm to fall into his own hands.
POLSINNEY HARBOUR - On a July evening in 1869, Maggie Care arrives footsore and weary in the small Cornish fishing village of Polsinney. Desperate to put behind her the memory of a dark and painful tragedy, she finds work and lodgings on the farm of Rachel Tallack, and comfort in the attentions of Rachel's fisherman son, Brice.
