Thee magnificent novels in one volume:
- 'Tilly Trotter'
- 'Tilly Trotter Wed'
- 'Tilly Trotter Widowed'
Beginning in the reign of the young Queen Victoria, the three Tilly Trotter novels tell the story of a beautiful girl growing to womanhood amid hardship and despair. Pitting her wits against the local Tyneside villagers, who hate her and accuse her of witchcraft, Tilly's strong instinct for survival leads her to become, in turn, the living mistress of a wealthy man, and then the wife of his son, travelling to the strange and perilous land of America.
When her husband is killed, Tilly returns to take possession of his estate. The villagers prove even more hostile and suspicious, but Tilly is supported by faithful friends and warm memories. Life still has much in store for Tilly Trotter, old loves and enmities providing fresh challenges to a woman as spirited as ever.
