Author Description

The Golden Waterwheel Following on from his compelling adventure in Love in the Sun, it is the mid-1930s and Leo has achieved amazing success with his books. One of these, Three Fevers, is being made into a feature film. He and his wife and their small family leave their idyllic home beside the Cornish creek and return to the Yorkshire coastal village of his boyhood. Their dream is to build a family home overlooking the sea. Instead they find a tumbledown barn on the moor – but with its own trout stream. Since boyhood Leo has yearned for such a stream, to build a dam, breed trout, and install a waterwheel. A massive project gets underway. But compromises have to be made. There's his growing family to support, more books to write, 40 acres of neglected land to tend. And his dream of securing their future is about to be destroyed.
