The Guinea Child - Paperback

by Maynard Davies (Author)

A young couple, from very different backgrounds, work hard to build a happy life together. Then fate intervenes with dreadful consequences. A terrible act of revenge means that a tiny baby is lost to the family. How will the child's life unfold when she is bought from the workhouse for the sum of just one guinea? What does destiny hold in store for her? Based on events in his own family, tales of which have been passed down through the generations, Maynard weaves a story of love and loss in 19th century rural England.
