Shelf wear edges on book jacket and book cover St Martin’s Press, 1979, 216 pages A compelling tale of romantic suspense set in Victorian England, The Artist's Daughter moves from the bohemian London of famous artists and writers to the stark and threatening countryside near Dartmoor. Nora Woburn, daughter of the well-known painter Ivor Stokes, never dreamed what her future held when in 1860 she married the handsome, charming, and seemingly loving Oliver Woburn. Three years, numerous brutal beatings, and a miscarriage later, this spunky young woman, once the special friend of poets and painters like Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Morris, finds herself lonely, disinherited, and desperate. Pursued by her cruel hus-band, Nora escapes to Devonshire. There she finds employment at Raven's Chase, the vast estate of Sir Mark Gerrick, a man who seems to be haunted by his past.
