Product Description
Product Description
It's the time of the Tolpuddle trial and unrest. The Dorset labourers work under terrible conditions for starvation wages. When her mother and stepfather perish in a fire, an illegitimate peasant girl, Siana Lewis, is left destitute, with a young brother and baby sister to support. Securing a job with the local rector, Siana, with her wit and beauty, will attract the attention of three men. Daniel Ayres - a young man with high hopes and very little else - is her first love, who cruelly betrays her. Francis Matheson, the local doctor, admires Siana's determination and thirst for knowledge. The pair establish a relaxed friendship. Then there's the local squire, Edward Forbes. A sensual and devious man, Edward is used to going after what he wants. He desires the beautiful peasant girl at first sight of her - and will stop at nothing to get her.

I read 'A Dorset Girl', 'Beyond The Plough', and 'A Handful of Ashes', a trilogy by Janet Woods, following the life of Siana Lewis an illegitimate peasant girl. If you like from rags to riches stories, you will enjoy them. They were thoroughly enjoyable. Read them order.
