The Katherine Wentworth Novels
(2019)(A book in the Katherine series)
An omnibus of novels by D E Stevenson
'Finding a re-issued novel by D. E. Stevenson is like coming upon a Tiffany lamp in Woolworth's. It is not 'nostalgia'; it is the real thing.' - The New York Times Book Review
Katherine married at nineteen and enjoyed four years of happiness before her beloved Gerald died unexpectedly. She is left to bring up a stepson, Simon, and her own little twins on a very inadequate income.
Stretched thin by the grief and new responsibilities of raising a family alone, a trip to a remote home in the Scottish highlands provides immediate solace for Katherine. Colours look brighter, food is tastier, and every day is a new pleasure.
Little does she know that further family trouble awaits on the horizon, as well as a new love in the most unexpected of places...
'Consistently charming' - The Times
'A story to delight and satisfy Mrs. Stevenson's many readers' - Coventry Evening Telegraph
