Details: Money was tight
in rural Fellburn in the
1880s, and this perhaps
explained why Hector
Stewart, only two years
after the death of his
wife, announced to his
children that he was to
marry Moira Conelly, a
wealthy distant relative
from Ireland. But Moira
had not been entirely
honest about her
background or her
finances, and had
convinced herself she
would be marrying into
landed gentry, complete
with a lifestyle to which
she felt entitled. It was
with surprise,
therefore, that she
first saw the run down
farm that would be her
new home... Ideal for:

with two children, fled
her brutal and bigoted
father and headed for

was, her sense of
isolation only increased.

the favourite of his
father, had the power to
terrify her. Liam was
cold, compelling,

a priest.
