Larksghyll is an ancestral home. The scene of a turulat love affair. And a dramatic story of passion and tragedy set amidst the lowering Victorian splendour of the Yorkshire moors, from one of the best loved romantic writers. 

          Delphine Craven’s father is deported to Botany Ray for a murder he didn’t commit. She must flee the scandal and takes a position as a teacher in a remote Yorkshire moorland village. 

          From the very start Castelbridge seems a disaster. Della forces hostility at school and in social life and is hated by the spoilt and beautiful wife of a local mill owner. And, being attracted to the mill owner himself, only pride and resolve to clear her father’s name make her stay. 

          Then, after some unrest at the mill, Tom and Della are brought together, but they must confront the dark family secret lying hidden in the Clifford family home of Larksghyll.
