The Papermaker's Daughter: A sweeping historical saga of forbidden love, betrayal, and family secrets - Paperback

by Adrienne Terblanche (Author)

Dover, 1897. Sarah Crouch has spent her whole life buried in novels, dreaming of the kind of love her guardian would never permit. When she meets Edwin Marsh, a dockworker with a hunger for ideas above his station, she finds it - in stolen Sundays behind the church yew tree and secret notes hidden inside a library dictionary. But Sarah carries another longing too: to know the mother she never met, a woman named Elizabeth who died giving her life and whose name her father refuses to speak. As Sarah risks everything for a love her world calls impossible, she begins to uncover a mystery - one that unfolded in the same house twenty years before, and that holds the truth about who she really is.

​​​​​​​The Papermaker's Daughter is a story of love that crosses class lines and a secret that waited a generation to be found.
