Yorkshire, post-war Britain

Bridie Foxcroft has always put her family first. Living in a grand house beneath the Yorkshire crags, her life is built on hard work, close bonds and the joys of family. With a position she cherishes at Frobisher’s Doll Emporium, Bridie’s future appears secure. Elliott Frobisher, heir to the business, admires her kindness and steady nature, but she is in his thoughts more than she should be. However, Bridie is harbouring a dangerous secret, one that, in a close-knit town that never forgets, could cost her everything.

Bridie has fallen in love with Henry Friar, a man the town despises for his actions during the war, and old grudges are quick to surface.

As whispers spread and loyalties are tested, Bridie must decide whether to remain silent or risk everything for the chance of a life on her own terms.

The Princess of Cragside is a heartfelt Yorkshire saga of love, courage and post-war struggles, and part of the Women of Old Yorkshire series. Perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Barbara Taylor Bradford and Rosie Goodwin.

I listened to this in one day. The pull of Yorkshire a love story and such beautiful narration made me want to devour it in one day.

Thoroughly enjoyed the bittersweet love story.
For me, the historical side is such a pull and for it to be based in beloved Yorkshire was the cherry on the cake.

Eleanor’s narration was absolutely stunning.

I hope to hear more.
