In 1889 there is a mining town that has been divided between those men who struggle to feed their families, and the rich or the gentry that are living up on Westleigh Hill. When Henry Postlewaite leaves for Golborne to make his fortune, he leaves behind his wife and daughter, although he does plan to send for them in time. Sadly, his wife dies, leaving his daughter Arabella on her own. She is taken in and educated by her Aunt Elizabeth. By the year 1907, the young Arabella has become a lady and she sets out to find her father. Along the way, she meets a man she puts her trust in, but was that the right choice?
There is nothing like a good story with a character that must learn and grow along the way. I have always enjoyed a well written story that seems to be a coming-of-age tale. Now not everyone might call this one a coming-of-age but I do. I really enjoyed going with Arabella on her journey to find her father. What child wouldn’t find themselves hopelessly devoted and dedicated, no matter what happens on the journey? I know I would. This is well written and clearly well researched for the Victorian era, not a typical historical romance at all. I would recommend this book to lovers of historical fiction and romance alike because there is a little bit of everything here for everyone.
