Product Description

Product Description

When 14 year old Rebecca Wilson and her friend, Jed, leave a baby boy on the steps of the Harcourt home, it has far-reaching ramifications for everyone involved.

Rebecca keeps her secret locked deep inside. What she does not know is that Charles Harcourt, the man she loves and eventually marries, has his own secret involving the baby. But will he forgive her when he finds out hers?

Jack Daventry, the son of Patricia Harcourt-Daventry, is a troubled child, made worse by his mother's histrionic behaviour. The only person he respects is his Uncle Charles. When Charles rejects him, after being told the real identify of Jack's mother, he is set on a course that will destroy not just his life, but the life of an innocent man.

Following the Harcourt family over a 31 year period, from 1917-1948, The Steps of the Priory is a romantic saga, dealing with themes of forgiveness and redemption.

The Steps of the Priory is the first novel of the Harcourt Saga. However, it is a stand alone novel and you don't need to read the whole series.

4.0 out of 5 stars A real page-turner! 20 Sep 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I'm not usually a fan of sagas but I found myself drawn into the Harcourt family and their problems and secrets very quickly. The characters are well drawn and I cared about them, especially the first leading lady, Becky; that's the difference between a good book and a bad one I believe. Also, I didn't see many of the twists coming and I found myself turning the pages faster and faster in anticipation. I have no doubt that if Ms Quillford writes a sequel, and she should, I will be buying it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and Original Plot 5 Sep 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This is a fast paced read with more twists and turns than a figure skater. I found I had to know what comes next. Nothing predictable that's for sure, especially its ending - very satisfying - but with just enough unanswered questions to set up a sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Twists and turns galore! 19 Mar 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Steps of the Priory was my introduction to the world of Sagas and I have to say it set the bar high. I felt engaged with the characters from the beginning and the plot twisted and turned in ways that kept me turning the pages until the end. A fascinating tale of a bygone time. I hope Sally decides to follow up with a sequel.
