Yorkshire Grit: A Trilogy of Tales

By Mrs Margaret Muir

Three dramatic yet heart-warming historical novels make up this trilogy of tales.Badly treated and battling the inequalities females suffered in the 19th century, three young women display pluck, determination and courage as they struggle to overcome adversity. Though their stories are completely different, they have one quality in common - they all possess true Yorkshire grit. SEA DUST is set in the Yorkshire harbour-town of Whitby where the death of her new-born infant and the cruel nature of her husband make Emma determined to escape his clutches. With the help of a French sailor she plans to stowaway on a ship bound for Australia. But things never go quite as planned. THROUGH GLASS EYES is Lucy Oldfield's story beginning on the day she succumbs to temptation and steals an expensive French doll from her dying mistress. The tumultuous ups and downs of the next 20 years are often reflected in the eyes of the doll. THE BLACK THREAD is set on Yorkshire's Leeds/Liverpool canal in the dark days before the turn of the century. In an attempt to escape the man who haunts her, Amy Dodd has nowhere to run to but along the canal's bank. On the way she discovers the awful truth about the man pursuing her.
