Louise DouglasA tale as old as time. A spirit that has never
rested.Present day As a love affair comes to an end, and with it
her dreams for her future, artist Selena needs a retreat. The
picture-postcard Sloe Cottage in the Somerset village of Ashcombe
promises to be the perfect place to forget her problems, and Selena
settles into her new home as spring arrives. But it isn't long
before Selena hears the past whispering to her. Sloe Cottage is
keeping secrets which refuse to stay hidden. 1682 Grace Cotter
longs for nothing more than a husband and family of her own.
Content enough with her work on the farm, looking after her father,
and learning the secrets of her grandmother Bett's healing hands,
nevertheless Grace still hopes for love. But these are dangerous
times for dreamers, and rumours and gossip can be deadly. One
mis-move and Grace's fate looks set... Separated by three hundred
years, two women are drawn together by a home bathed in blood and
magic. Grace Cotter's spirit needs to rest, and only Selena can
help her now. USA Today bestselling author Judy Leigh writing as
Elena Collins, brings you this unforgettable, heart-breaking,
gripping timeslip novel set in a world when women were hung as
witches, and fates could be sealed by a wrong word. Perfect for
fans of Barbara Erskine, Diana Gabaldon and Louise Douglas. Praise
for Elena Collins: 'A profoundly moving, beautifully written and
emotional story that skilfully combines two time frames into one
unputdownable book. I was completely immersed in Grace's story from
the beginning: despite it taking place 400 years ago. The modern
day storyline was also delightful with some wonderful characters.
In short a wonderful book by a fabulous author, very highly
recommended.' Louise Douglas

'Eleanor Porter is a major new voice in historical fiction.' Tim
Clayton Where will her loyalty lead her?Once accused of witchcraft
Martha Spicer is now free from the shadow of the gallows and lives
a safe and happy life with her husband, Jacob. But when Jacob heads
north to accompany his master, he warns Martha to keep her healing
gifts a secret, to keep herself safe, to be a good wife. Martha
loves Jacob but without him there to protect her, she soon comes
under the suspicious eye of the wicked Steward Boult, who's heard
of her talent and forces her to attend to him. If she refuses, he
promises to destroy the good life she has built for herself with
Jacob. Desperate and alone, Martha faces a terrible decision: stay
and be beholden to Boult or journey north to find Jacob who is
reported to have been killed.. The road ahead is filled with
danger, but also the promise of a brighter future. And where her
gifts once threatened to be her downfall, might they now be the
very thing that sets Martha free...? The brilliant follow-up to
Eleanor Porter's first novel of love, betrayal, superstition and
fear in Elizabethan England. A story of female courage, ingenuity
and determination, this is perfect for fans of Tracy Chevalier.
'Eleanor Porter is a major new voice in historical fiction. With
her beautiful use of language and compelling storytelling she
conjures the past with a vividness that lingers in the mind long
after the final page.' Tim Clayton Praise for The Wheelwright's
Daughter:'It's a gripping story and such accomplished writing. I
really enjoyed every moment of working on it.' Yvonne Holland,
editor of Philippa Gregory and Tracy Chevalier 'A brilliant debut
novel' 'An interesting read and an impressive debut novel' 'A
wonderfully written story' 'A skilfully crafted story of love,
betrayal, superstition and fear in 16th century England.' 'This is
a story of courage, trust, betrayal and love.' 'A great historical
novel I loved.'
