The Papermaker's Daughter: A sweeping historical saga of forbidden love, betrayal, and family secrets - Paperback

Dover, 1897. Sarah Crouch has spent her whole life buried in novels, dreaming of the kind of love her guardian would never permit. When she meets Edwin Marsh, a dockworker with a hunger for ideas above his station, she finds it - in stolen Sundays behind the church yew tree and secret notes hidden inside a library dictionary. But Sarah carries another longing too: to know the mother she never met, a woman named Elizabeth who died giving her life and whose name her father refuses to speak. As Sarah risks everything for a love her world calls impossible, she begins to uncover a mystery - one that unfolded in the same house twenty years before, and that holds the truth about who she really is.

​​​​​​​The Papermaker's Daughter is a story of love that crosses class lines and a secret that waited a generation to be found.
