Storks in a Blue Sky
by Carol Anne Dobson
A historical romance played out between the wild coast and moors of North Devon and the mountains and river-crossed plain of Alsace.
The beautiful, red-haired Sarah Durrant is an uneducated servant who takes the place of her mistress when she suddenly dies at Lynmouth as they are travelling across the remote wilderness of 18th century Exmoor. Her origins are a mystery. She only knows she is illegitimate and possesses a gold locket which contains a miniature of a woman who resembles her.
North Devon at first proves a sanctuary from the violence of her past but then the French aristocrat, Jean Luc de Delacroix, a soldier and a scientist, arrives from the New World; the local activities of smuggling and wrecking surface; her life becomes a tangle of love, deception and fear.
Praise for Storks in a Blue Sky:
“The storyline is strong with vivid descriptions of the North Devon and French countryside, complete with storks, so a part of Alsace. I thoroughly recommend this book.”
~ Anna, Amazon Review, 5*
“A wonderful romantic read.”
