Book description
Local landowner John Bettison has forbidden his workers to attend
church, but when curate Toby Lovell arrives in Porthluney, he is
determined to bring about change. Injured during the Battle of
Trafalgar, Toby is used to facing adversity but little does he realise
the challenge that lies ahead of him.
But the trouble really starts when Toby falls in love with Bethany
Poole, a local Quaker girl. When her society rejects her, she turns to
Toby for support but a dreadful misunderstanding involving Bettison
forces her to leave without a word of explanation and Toby will not
rest until they are reunited...
Set on Cornwall's south coast in the early nineteenth century,
Moontide is a captivating tale of loves lost and found.
