Hunter's Moon

HUNTER'S MOON continues Aileen Armitage's Yorkshire saga which began with HAWKSMOOR. It is 1878. Cedric Moorhouse, the new, ambitious mayor of Hawksmoor, turns his back on his daughter Violet when she marries his former employee, Tom Mallinson. Tom, broken down by his father-in-law's refusal to help them, turns to crime and the love of another woman. Violet meanwhile faces up to life in the squalor of Samson's Yard, never losing sight of a better future, even though she fears she has lost the love of her husband. In HUNTER'S MOON, Aileen Armitage enters into the very hearts and homes of those who wage the bitter struggle against poverty.
