Miss Honoria West

Lose yourself in this intelligent and emotional novel with a darker edge and the superb characterisation weve come to expect from Sunday Times bestselling author Ruth Hamilton. Fans of Catherine Cookson, Dilly Court and Josephine Cox wont be disappointed.

Very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, theyve got the lot, and theyre quality writing as well - Sarah Broadhurst on Radio Four

TRAGEDY FOLLOWS HONORIA WEST, BUT WHO CAN STOP HER...

The West Family at Moortop Farm should have led settled and happy lives. They were affluent, had a superb old farmhouse, and were blessed with three daughters, Hyacinth, Hilda - and Honoria. But even from childhood Honoria cast a pall of fear and suspicion over the family.

Violent and unpleasant things happened and although they were dismissed as accidents, both Honorias parents and her older sister, Hyacinth, became increasingly alarmed.

As the years passed, Honorias worst excesses were concealed from the world, but even so, in her new life in Liverpool, her evil affected those about her.

But it was April, frail and struggling against a serious illness, who was to be the one to finally destroy Miss Honoria West.

Rich in character and action, Ruth Hamiltons gritty and masterful writing builds to a resounding and powerful climax in yet another unforgettable novel.
