Snow Hall - Hardcover
1907, County Durham
Lorna Robson works long and tiring hours in her aunt's hat shop in a small pit village. Although she tries not to complain, the genteel poverty they live in, and her lack of freedom, depresses her. But when she discovers that a relation has left her a large dilapidated property, her aunt is strangely furious. Lorna knows she can never return. However, it is only when she sees Snow Hall - and falls in love with it - that her situation truly dawns on her: selling the house is unthinkable, but without money or friends, how can she survive.

From Booklist:
Lorna Robson lives a Dickensian existence. Her aunt, a County Durham hat shop owner, mends the headgear of local miners and their families. Lorna is forced to work in a small backroom with no heat and little light. She’s engulfed by poverty and darkness. Then one day, a relative she never knew she had bequeaths to Lorna Snow Hall, a once noble estate that has fallen into ruin. Despite its many flaws, Lorna feels an immediate attraction to Snow Hall. The problem is, in 1907, it’s hard for a woman to earn any income, let alone enough money to heat and maintain a mansion. Lorna’s search for a way to keep Snow Hall is filled with pitfalls and emotion-draining experiences. Readers will root for the underdog as Lorna fights for her survival and that of the home she comes to love. --Shelley Mosley
