The Daughter of the House
(2019)(The fifth book in the Cornish Tales series)
A novel by Victoria Cornwall
Captivating tale. Perfect for fans of Poldark, Tracy Rees, Fiona Valpy & Dilly Court. Part of a series but can be read as a standalone. Highly recommended.
The daughter of the house is often overlooked
Evelyn Pendragon is spirited but lonely, and largely ignored by her parents whose attentions are taken up with her brother, Nicholas: the expected heir to the familys Cornish estate and the one who will carry on the Pendragon name.
Stifled by her aristocratic existence, Evelyn finds companionship in an unlikely place when she befriends Drake Vennor, an apprentice gardener on the estate.
But When Evelyns life is thrown into turmoil by a tragedy, she realises just how much she has come to rely on Drake. Will family expectations and the burden of the Pendragon name mean she must turn her back on him when she needs him the most?
Praise for Daughter of the House:
~ A fabulous book from an author rapidly becoming one of my favourites for historical reads. I loved Victoria Cornwalls characters Evie and Drake.
~ Overall then a great book, one that educates and it's highly recommended.
~ These beautiful books are very much stand-alones, they all have their own unique stories and characters which you will instantly fall in love with whilst reading.
~ An enthralling story that encapsulates the struggles of a young woman growing up in a world where inequality is all around her, and trying to find a role for herself when her family are ignoring her in favour of their son and heir.
