Description
The historical setting of the Piece Hall at Christmastime, in the cobbled streets of old Yorkshire is brought to life in this tale of love seeking to overcome post-war bitterness and social pressures.
Bridie Foxcroft is a girl who values family above all else, so when her best friend marries her brother, her dearest wish comes true. The family live in a beautiful, old house below the formidable crags of Halifax, and she loves nothing more than venturing up the hillside in all weathers to look down upon her home. She has even secured her dream job at Frobisher's Doll Emporium, so life could not be better for Bridie.
Elliott Frobisher is set to one day inherit the emporium, and he has nothing but admiration and respect for the young woman with a kind heart coated in common sense.
But Bridie has a secret. She is in love with a man who is hated by the whole town, and her contented, sleepy life is about to turn on its head.
Finding our voice is so dangerous when speaking out against long-held resentments runs the risk of losing everything, and everyone, we hold dear.
The Princess of Cragside 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.
