Description
1876 - On the death of her mother and sister, Isabelle Gibson must fend for herself and her brother in a privately-run workhouse. To escape a life of drudgery and near-rape at the hands of the matron’s son, Neville Peacock, Isabelle agrees to marry Farrell, a moorland farmer she has never met. But Farrell is a drunkard and a bully in constant feud with his landlord, Ethan Harrington. When Farrell bungles a robbery and deserts her, Isabelle and Ethan are thrown together as she struggles to run the farm. Both are married and must hide their growing love. Despite the secrecy, Isabelle draws strength from Ethan and his best friend, Hamish MacGregor, as she faces the return of her long lost father and Neville Peacock. And when Farrell returns to claim his wife, tragedy strikes, changing all their lives forever.
A review for The Gentle Wind's Caress
Anne Whitfield crafts a moving story of a strong woman in her historical novel THE GENTLE WIND’S CARESS. In an era of workhouses and sharp class differences, Isabelle Gibson is a woman worthy of love and admiration. She’s a complex woman who balances the various aspects of her life with considerable finesse.
