Louise — Mary Williams

Louise De Vallon was only sixteen when she met Tredeagle, a meeting under bizarre circumstances which was to dramatically change both their lives. With Tredeagle she comes to Caerngaro, the neglected old mansion on the Cornish cliffs, where she hoped to find happiness. But there were obstacles to it's achievement: there was Sarah Perrin, the housekeeper, Robin, her hunchbacked and sensitive son, and the beautiful Lillia Tolruggan. And what was the mysterious curse on the Tredeagles, the evil reputation attached to 'Mad' Tredeagle himself? Set early in the nineteenth century, Mary Williams' romantic novel again sweeps the reader into a world of passion and violence, and the contrasting romantic love with the peace that it brings.
