The Peacock's Feather (CH) (Charnwood Large Print Library Series)

A novel with echoes of Austen and Trollope. In eighteenth century Suffolk, a strange girl gives birth to a baby in a lonely coaching inn and then dies. A man returns from India to live in a beautiful dilapidated house, whilst a woman watches him take over the house that should have been her inheritance. The lives of these three strangers are fated to become entangled. It is the hot tempered doctor from the author's first novel A SEASON OF MISTS who takes centre stage, whilst the drama and scandal opens up around him. This is no genteel, idyllic Suffolk, but draughty and windswept reality.
