Description
To live with regret is not to live at all.
In 1921, Delfina (Della) Thornton-Braithwaite is a silly, young girl out of her depth. Her seemingly idyllic childhood is blighted by an embittered feminist mother who would have overseen the running of the family empire, had she been a man. Instead, her father has the satisfaction of running the business on his wife's behalf.
Edward is a respected man from the village who falls in love with Della, though he knows he should not have led her astray. Freddie has been in love with her since school, and betters himself before going on to marry her. When both men become obsessed with Della, their fanatical love darkens, only seeking to make her life a misery. The results are far-reaching, plunging the silly, young girl into the real world.
One stormy New Year's Eve, Della meets a stranger living in a woodland cottage who speaks and acts as though from another time. Sometimes, someone appears when you need them most, and the stranger is intent on helping the young woman relive her life and lay her demons to rest.
But time is running out for Della. Can the stranger succeed before the New Year is upon them? If not, it may well be too late for both of them.
Delfina is part of the Women of Old Yorkshire collection by Yorkshire-born author Jo Priestley; historical, romantic novels featuring authentic women, engaged in emotional journeys of self-discovery about love in all its many forms.
