A contemporary Romance that asks questions about the way we live in the age of mass extinction - in one life, do we fight for place or planet? An absorbing read about a couple torn two ways, with vivid evocations of sweeping landscapes, family loyalties and a dash of science.Impetuous, rich, and something of a snob, Olivia buys a hill farm and dedicates herself to nature recovery. A tragic accident has left her a widow at 29. No one can compare to the young husband she adored; so, defiantly, she vows never to remarry. Instead she will devote herself to building up the farm as a beacon of restorative agriculture. Her resolve is challenged when she is introduced to television environmentalist and man-with-a-mission Andrew, a hero she has long admired but never before met in real life. Fate, in the shape of land-use politics, brings him to work on her farm, along with his troubled teenage son. A passionate affair develops and runs its course over a moorland summer, under the worried gaze of family and friends on both sides. But Andrew's mission is global, Olivia's vision local; what can their happy ending look like?

The letters in this collection were sent by the textile merchant John (Jack) McCaldin Loewenthal to his mother Jane at their home in Lennoxvale, Belfast, between 1889 and 1895. They were written during Jack''s journeys to South America and the West Indies, where he was securing commercial contracts for the firm of linen and jute traders in which his father Julius Loewenthal was a senior partner. The letters are a diary-like account of his travels and travel impressions, also containing little anecdotes. They are contextualized by an overview of Jack''s life, a genealogy, maps of his voyages, and helpful explanatory notes. Together, the letters provide insights into international trade, sea travel, and South American politics at the end of the 19th century. Jack was a first-hand and perceptive observer of many noteworthy events, including revolutions, economic turmoil, and international crime.
