Product Description
Even the approach of Christmas, 1913, fails to excite the
restless Agnes Conway, the twenty-two-year old manager
of her feckless father's adjoining sweet and tobacconist
shops. There are dark secrets in Arthur Conway's past,
and these come tragically to light when Agnes's younger
sister becomes pregnant by one of the notorious Felton
brothers. And Agnes herself has a secret, which she
knows she must keep from her father: an attachment to
Charles Farrier, son of a local landowner, who outrages his
own pious family by proposing marriage . . .
But Charles is not the only man who shapes Agnes's
future, for his brother Reginald makes no secret of his
admiration for her; although she could not have foreseen
how significant a part he was to play in her destiny . . .
