A young girl's tragic loss will shape her dreams and her
future…1930 - Douro Valley, Portugal Twelve-year-old Catherine is
watching the Rabalo race in Porto when the sound of a shot being
fired changes her life forever. Her beloved mother, mistress for
some years to Walter Shellard, a Bristol based wine and port
merchant has received distressing news that her lover, Walter, has
married a wealthy heiress. In her anguish she takes her own life,
leaving poor Catherine alone and heartbroken. Angry and grieving,
Catherine is sent to live under the guardianship of her eccentric
Aunt Lopa in a small farmhouse high above the rich vineyards of the
Douro valley. Here, she learns to adapt to her new life and her
strange aunt but still blames her father, a man she barely knows,
for her mother’s tragic death. Coming of age, beautiful Catherine
is summoned to Bristol by her estranged father who presumes
she’ll be as malleable as most other women. But Catherine is her
father’s daughter, as strong as he is and still thirsting for
revenge. A compelling family saga of loss and love perfect for fans
of Fiona Valpy and Dinah Jefferies Previously published as 'House
in the Hills' by Erica Brown
