When their father runs off with the tobacconist's wife, Isobel and Caro are left to the far from tender mercies of their mother, Iris, who relieves her frustration with bouts of fury towards her elder daughter, Isobel. Bewildered and hurt by their mother's lack of affection, the girls turn inwards for support, erecting a fence of fierce mutual loyalty against the outside world.
Dispatched to a convent school, the sisters find the discipline harsh but they discover, too, a love and security lacking at home . . . until the arrival of cousin Ursula. Ursula perpetrates sly tricks - masked by a deceptively innocent air. Pushed to the limit, Isobel decides to exact her own revenge . . .

Store description
Wordhoard. One of the oldest written words in the English language (actually Wordhord in Old English). Storytellers would ‘open their wordhord’ whilst sitting amongst friends and family and tell stories of great deeds such as the story of Beowulf. It’s a word that speaks of the importance of storytelling throughout our history. So perhaps a fitting name for a bookshop? Based in Bristol, UK, Wordhoard Books specialise in selling collectible signed and unsigned first edition books for both adults and children. Collections include signed books, novels, natural history, military history, general history, art, graphic art, film, biography, poetry, and many more, so please do come and browse. If you have any questions regarding any of my books, feel free to get in touch.…
