Riding to Jerusalem (Hodder Moa Beckett) 1996
When Clarissa Payne marries Squire Wheatcroft in 1872 a chain of events is set in motion that will bring notoriety to their remote English village and dramatically alter the destiny of all its inhabitants. The people of Cotsfield, reacting to the strange new ways of their Squire, find themselves at the centre of a crisis that will see a murder, a sensational trial and an unexpected twist in a love affair… A story of the search for the New Jerusalem that will take ordinary people to extraordinary places.
