A vivid, Gilded Age romance set in a world where love is both a source of pain and the ultimate salvation.

Little Robin is a compelling portrayal of the enduring bonds of friendship and family. Perfect for fans of historical dramas such as Downton Abbey and The Gilded Age, and readers of Dilly Court and Barbara Taylor Bradford.

Serena Wilton-Robbins is a woman who knows true love is unconditional. So unconditional, she is prepared to put aside her own happiness and let go the love of her life.
A new century may have dawned, but in Yorkshire's booming mill towns, extravagance still sits hand in hand with hardship and poverty.
Serena, daughter of a successful banker, has a privileged lifestyle, until a fateful romance turns her world on its head.
Forced to make a life for herself and her baby daughter, slowly she succeeds, finding refuge at Mallerby Hall with Dawson Mallerby.
However, whilst Dawson may well be her protector, he is not hers to love.
When her old life re-emerges, she is once again thrown into turmoil. Serena must then make a choice, between the man she loves, or carving a path through life on her own.

What readers have said about Little Robin:

*****
A beautifully written love story on so many levels. An easy 5-star read and definitely one not to be missed. I read this book in just over a day, as I couldn't put it down. Brilliant storyline and amazing characters. Little Robin is simply unforgettable!

*****
At face value this is an oft-told tale of a young woman's fall from grace and redemption but it is told with such passion and depth of feeling that, what is at face value a simple tale, is transformed into something much more. I find Ms Priestley's female characters really interesting, there's no one-dimensional, saccharine sweetness in these historical novels. Nell (The Calling of Highbrook); Annalise (The Strangers In Me) and Serena from Little Robin are real with many facets; likeable but flawed, unworldly but strong, kind-hearted but unyielding and tenacious when it comes to injustice.

*****
This had everything that I was expecting from a historical fiction novel. It had a great overall feel and thought the characters worked with the time-period. I enjoyed the way Jo Priestley wrote this and it left me wanting more in this story.

*****
An emotional journey right from the start with so many twists and turns that I was gasping for air, anticipating what would happen next. A book I could not put down which was a total nail-biter and I absolutely loved it!
