Book Description

An incredible work by Sheila Kaye-Smith, an English writer famous for her numerous novels set on the frontiers of Sussex and Kent in the English regional tradition. Filled with interesting characters and a gripping storyline, this work makes an engaging read. Excerpt from "The View from the Parsonage" "When Adam Cryall thought he was never going to see Palster Manor again, the view of it that he remembered with acutest longing was, he told me, from the field behind the Parsonage. Standing there one could see the house, crouching in the hollow which was its garden and had been its moat, while beyond it the shores of Ebony dropped into the marshes and the sea-born mists. In his dreams he would see it there at his feet and know even in his dreams that he would never see it any other way."
