Softcover. SIGNED. The year is 1759 and with schooldays at an end, all young Margery Rowe hopes for in life is to be loved and needed. The only child of a pious widower, she rejoices in the friendship of Anne Beddingfield whose home life at the farm in Sternfield in Suffolk is so very different from her own. The idea that within 6 months of her Christmas visit there she would be installed as mistress of the farm would have been beyond her wildest dreams. Yet so it was to be. Within 3yrs, however, jealousy, intense love, misunderstandings and misinterpretation of events had resulted in sudden death, accusations of murder and a horrendous execution which remains part of history. 214pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR and includes a loosely inserted HANDWRITTEN PERONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR.
