Hob Hurst's Legacy

By Ophelia Finsen

Haworth: 1816 Eleanor MacCaskill has relocated to Haworth, and lives up on the hills with her ailing mother and her frustrated daughter, Muriel. Out on the moors there is a dark angry man who stalks the family after a chance meeting in a snowstorm. Eleanor thinks it is from today's bitterness, Maud, growing confused in old age, seems to think there is a deeper connection. Whilst the older generations look to their past, Muriel dreams of a future of study, universities and medicine - a world that is closed to women and denied to her. Drawing inspiration from other local eccentric women, and an ingenious idea from her disgraced sister, she may be able to find fulfilment in life by other means. Sweeping through the 1820s, the continuing family stories follow life through West Yorkshire of Haworth and Halifax, the cathedral city of York and away up across the border into Edinburgh.
