The Secrets of Ironbridge
1850s Shropshire. Returning to her mother's birthplace at the age of eighteen, Beatrice Ashford encounters a complex family she barely knows. Her great-grandmother Queenie adores her, but the privileged social position of Beatrice's family as masters of the local brickworks begins to make her uncomfortable. And then she meets Owen Malone: handsome, different, refreshing - and from a class beneath her own. They fall for each other fast, but an old family feud and growing industrial unrest threatens to drive them apart. Can they overcome their different backgrounds? And can Beatrice make amends for her family's past?
“Evocative, dramatic and hugely compelling … The Daughters of Ironbridge has all the hallmarks of a classic saga. I loved it.” MIRANDA DICKINSON on The Daughters of Ironbridge.
