The Willow Horse

Joy Richards

A chance meeting between Marianne Severns and John Wintergreen down by the river brings forth echoes of a long ago secret tragedy.

As a result of their ill-fated encounter both are shocked and mystified when their lives dramatically change. John is cruelly punished. But Marianne receives the harshest sentence: wrenched from her beloved cottage in the wood and sent into exile.

Devastated, she vows that one  day she will reclaim the cottage, whatever the cost. It will be something to live for. Something to die for …

Set amidst the turmoil and rebellion of Tudor England, The Willow Horse is a tale of obsession, a tragic family secret and the haunting power of the past over the present.
