The Escape of Rose Alleyn
The Escape of Rose Alleyn

Young girl's struggle for independence in 1900s.

If historical fiction with a strong female lead who challenges societal norms entices you, "The Escape of Rose Alleyn" will captivate you. Rose's journey from the restricting confines of domestic life to the freedom of working in a bookshop and navigating complex relationships provides not only an immersive glimpse into the past but also a testament to the timeless quest for personal freedom and the sacrifices it entails.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Must she choose loyalty over happiness? January 1900. When her mother dies late in pregnancy, sixteen-year-old Rose resolves never to marry. She is resigned to a life of mind-numbing domestic work alongside her five siblings at Sawdons Hall. A chance encounter with the charismatic Mr. Pritchard leads Rose to make a bid for freedom, against family wishes, by accepting a job at his new bookshop in the market town of Widdock. Rose values her developing relationship with Mr. Pritchard and her strong female friendships, and her feelings for Mr. Pritchard deepen. But, just as she seems to have gained a free, independent life, family duty calls her home. Will Rose ever find her own happiness? A heartwarming and gripping family saga of love and the sacrifice of family duty.
