No Enemy But Winter

Orphaned and alone, Carrie and Adele Linton are forced to leave the exotic land of their childhood for an uncertain future in the dreary suburbs of early-Victorian Manchester and the dubious guardianship of George O'Hara, recently married to the sisters' Aunt Linnie. Rescued from O'Hara's brutality by Miles Sanderson, a former colleague of their father's, they enter local society. Both girls are groomed for marriage, but Carrie is too intelligent to submit to the path marked out for her, whereas Adele falls recklessly in love with Elliot Sanderson, who is already engaged to be married...
