Description
Detailing the mayhem and the ripple effects on an affair in the Burnside family, this well-constructed and character-centric novel bursts with Yorkshire spirit and straight-talking as it shares the fates, friendships, and passions of protagonists Hannah and Dylan, their interconnected family, and close friends (the friendship between Hannah and Claire is particularly important to the narrative).
With Happy Valley’s final episode, the most-watched TV program of the year thus far, Shibden Love & Money provides the perfect opportunity for fans to return to the Calder Valley for another enthralling dose of Yorkshire life.
Synopsis:
In a town that stands out for its individuality, the green hills of the Shibden Valley hide tales going back centuries. Love can be a powerful thing; it affects everyone differently. How we chose to act on it can determine the lives of those we hold dear.
Hannah Burnside thought she had it all. An adoring husband, a happy daughter, and a home overlooking the valley built out of love and trust. That was until Dylan broke her heart, leaving only her oldest friend and business partner Ruth, to help pick up the pieces. (Their little shop ‘Pleasure Not Sin,’ is always a welcome distraction.)
Dylan does not know how to face up to what he has done and a life without Hannah he cannot comprehend. At first, running away was the answer, but then suddenly all is not what it seems.
Family life never stops being complicated especially when you have a controlling mother like Martha Burnside watching you every move. She is the most influential woman in the valley, and nothing gets past her.
One family funeral sets off a chain of events, opening old wounds, and hidden secrets, and allowing the chance for new love to grow.
One thing is for certain, Halifax is never quiet for long.
