The Posthorn Inn — Grace Thompson
A charming historical saga of smuggling, village gossip, and romance on the rugged Welsh coast . . .
The enigmatic Barrass is a letter-carrier in the little Welsh village of Mumbles. He works long hours for little pay, and his home is a cold, damp lean-to. But half the young women in the village seem sweet on him, and indeed, three girls claim their babies are his.
Olwen, a local fisherman's daughter, seeks a way out of drudgery and wants to prove wrong those who see her as “just a girl.” Ambitious and in love with Barrass, she strives to prove to him that she is worthy of his affections.
But with the temptations of illegal smuggling, alehouses, and his other suitors, will Barrass want to settle down at all?
Packed with unforgettable characters and exquisite period detail, The Posthorn Inn is a novel of enduring charm and romance from the popular author of Summer's Last Retreat.
