Publisher Description
The magic tale of three live interwoven by love, deceit, courage and sacrifice. A powerfully moving novel of a young woman caught between the attractions of two very different men, Sylvia’s Lovers is set in the 1790s in an English seaside town.
England is at war with France, and press-gangs wreak havoc by seizing young men for service. One of their victims is a whaling harpooner named Charley Kinraid, whose charm and vivacity have captured the heart of Sylvia Robson. But Sylvia’s devoted cousin, Philip Hepburn, hopes to marry her himself and, in order to win her, deliberately withholds crucial information—with devastating consequences.

Customer Reviews
Good story but possibly the worst read book ever.
Gaskell’s story is fine, however this is probably the worst audio book that I have listened to. Different chapters read by different people, some English, some American, some Asian and some Eastern European,as far as I could tell!Some spoke very poor English and certainly had little idea about the correct pronunciation of certain English words and definitely had no grasp on a Yorkshire dialect. I wish now that I had bought the physical book and read it for myself.
