Publisher Description

A heart-warming tale from the Queen of West Country Saga, LINDA FINLAY…

The Girl with the Amber Comb, will she ever return home?

Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author Dilly Court says Linda Finlay is ‘sure to delight’!

Orphaned at birth, Eliza lives with her beloved Grandparents in a waterlogged Somerset cottage surrounded by willow beds where she ekes out a living making laundry baskets and eel traps. Although poor she is content, until childhood friend Clem, regales her with tales of his adventures along the river and she begins to wonder what life is like beyond the Droves.

When fate brings handsome, wealthy Theo to her workshop she is instantly attracted and a rosy future beyond the Droves beckons. Only things don't go to plan and naive Eliza finds herself in Lavender House where she is expected to care for gentlemen in a way she never imagined. Forced to flee for her life, she ends up in a woollen mill run by a corrupt foreman, working for crumbs and pennies with only her grandmother's comb in her pocket.

Now she knows what matters in life – but is it too late? And will she ever be able to return home to those who love her?

Set amongst the stunning wetlands of Somerset, this tale of triumph and tragedy will delight fans of Rosie Goodwin and Dilly Court.

About the author

LINDA FINLAY lives on the Devonshire coast and is the author of eight novels. From lace making to willow weaving, each one is based on a local craft which, in order to write authentically, she has learnt to do herself. However, it is people and their problems that make for a good story writing and, with so much interesting material to work with, it is easy for Linda to let her imagination run as wild as the West Country landscape which has inspired her writing. The Girl with the Amber Comb is her ninth novel.

Very good

Really enjoyed the book, however there was a big feature that would liked to have explored more and it was hardly touched on. Still very good.
