No one survives war unscathed. But even in the darkest days, seeds
of hope can grow. It is 1946 and in the village of Oakbourne the
men are home from the war. Their bodies are healing but their
psychological wounds run deep. Everyone is scarred - those who
fought and those left behind. Alice Rayne is married to Stephen,
heir to crumbling Oakbourne Hall. Once a sweet, gentle man, he has
returned a bitter and angry stranger, destroyed by what he has seen
and done, tormented by secrets Alice can only guess at. Lonely and
increasingly afraid of the man her husband has become, Alice must
try to pick up the pieces of her marriage and save Oakbourne Hall
from total collapse. She begins with the walled garden and, as it
starts to bear fruit, she finds herself drawn into a new, forbidden
love. Set in the Suffolk countryside as it moves from winter to
spring, The Walled Garden is a captivating love story and a
timeless, moving exploration of trauma and the miracle of human
resilience. 'Richly evocative and transporting' Stacey Halls

A lively and multi-faceted account of Evelyn and William De Morgan,
exploring a unique artistic partnership that spanned several
cultural circles including the Pre-Raphaelites and Arts and Crafts
movement With a partnership spanning two centuries, the
Pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn (1855-1919) and Arts and Crafts
potter and author William De Morgan (1839-1917) influenced several
significant art movements in nineteenth-century Britain. Despite
this, their impact has been relatively overlooked in comparison
with their better-known contemporaries. Evelyn & William De
Morgan is the first major publication devoted to the work of either
artist and their unique relationship. It draws out each artist's
individuality while providing a comprehensive view of the expanded
cultural milieu in which they functioned, not least with regard to
new attitudes towards Victorian marriage as a working partnership.
The fully illustrated publication features numerous contributions
which explore the reach of the De Morgans' partnership, their
political and spiritual interests, and their immersion within
several influential cultural circles of the day, including
Pre-Raphaelite, Arts and Crafts, and Aesthetic Movement groups. The
book presents a lively and multifaceted account of the De Morgans
and their creative partnership. Published in association with
