A Miner's Daughter - Elizabeth Gill

When Rosalind West leaves her native Durham for a job in London with the Doxbridge Motor Company she is determined to escape her background and build a new life. London is excitingly different and tantalisingly glamorous - especially when she meets the handsome and aristocratic Freddie Harrington, a rally driver, and the son of a once-wealthy Northumberland landowner. Against her friends'' better judgement Freddie and Rosalind begin a relationship. But Freddie''s family have plans for him which do not include marrying a Durham miner''s daughter. Turning to a close companion for consolation, Rosalind suddenly finds herself torn between two men, both of strong passions, and fierce ambition.Note: this book was previously published under the title Home to the High Fells.Praise for Elizabeth Gill''Original and evocative - a born storyteller'' Trisha Ashley ''A wonderful book, full of passion, pain, sweetness, twists and turns.
