Good used. Tilly Trotter had married Matthew Sopwith and sailed with him for Texas and a new life. Less than three years later she returns home, a young widow convinced that she will never love another man. Back in her native County Durham she assumes the role of mistress of Highfield Manor where she once worked as a nursemaid, and faces the task of bringing up both her own son and the adopted daughter she so strangley acquired in America. Complete in itself, Tilly Trotter Widowed brings to a triumphant conclusion a trilogy that already ranks high in historical accuracy of the times and conditions of life in those times.352pp
