The Dark Horizon

From the award-winning author of The Road Back comes the first in a sweeping saga set between the wars, which introduces the Linfords, a family simmering with secrets, schemes and deceit.

Oxfordshire, 1919

The instant that Lily Brown and Robert Linford set eyes on each other, they fall in love. The instant that Robert's father, Joseph, chairman of the family's successful building company, sets eyes on Lily, he feels a deep distrust of her.

Convinced that his new daughter-in-law is a gold-digger, and that Robert's feelings are a youthful infatuation he'd come to regret, Joseph resolves to do whatever it takes to rid his family of Lily. And he doesn't care what that is.

As the young couple are torn apart, the Linford family is told a lie that will have devastating consequences for years to come.

The Dark Horizon is perfect for readers of The Thorn Birds, the Cazalet Chronicles, and the novels of Fiona Valpy, Kristin Hannah, Diane Chamberlain and Santa Montefiore.
