Book excerpt: Lose yourself in this intelligent and emotional novel with a darker edge and the superb characterisation we've come to expect from Sunday Times bestselling author Ruth Hamilton. Fans of Catherine Cookson, Dilly Court and Josephine Cox won't be disappointed. 'Very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, they've got the lot, and they're quality writing as well' - Sarah Broadhurst on Radio Four 'A fantastic read but not a surprise. Ruth Hamilton books are first class.' -- ***** Reader review 'I have read all of Ruth Hamilton books and for me this is one of her best.' -- ***** Reader review 'Great story. Ruth Hamilton is a wonderful story teller. I will buy all that she writes.' -- ***** Reader review 'Brilliant read, Ruth Hamilton at her best.' -- ***** Reader review **************************************************** TRAGEDY FOLLOWS HONORIA WEST, BUT WHO CAN STOP HER... The West Family at Moortop Farm should have led settled and happy lives. They were affluent, had a superb old farmhouse, and were blessed with three daughters, Hyacinth, Hilda - and Honoria. But even from childhood Honoria cast a pall of fear and suspicion over the family. Violent and unpleasant things happened and although they were dismissed as accidents, both Honoria's parents and her older sister, Hyacinth, became increasingly alarmed. As the years passed, Honoria's worst excesses were concealed from the world, but even so, in her new life in Liverpool, her evil affected those about her. But it was April, frail and struggling against a serious illness, who was to be the one to finally destroy Miss Honoria West. Rich in character and action, Ruth Hamilton's gritty and masterful writing builds to a resounding and powerful climax in yet another unforgettable novel.
