Copsi Castle / Norah Lofts. - Large print edition. - 438 pages (large print) ; 24 cm.

1836: Copsi Castle, handed down from father to son since the time of William the Conqueror, now belongs to Sir Harald Copsey, a kindly gentleman who adores his home. But Magnus, his only son and heir, is cut from a different bolt of cloth. Harald has indulged Magnus over the years, overlooking his erratic extremes of behaviour. When Magnus obsessively sets his mind upon marrying a local tenant farmer's daughter, sixteen-year-old Hannah Reeve, Harald, initially appalled at his son's choice, overcomes his misgivings over the match. His son needs an heir - and who would otherwise be induced to marry a madman? Hannah, finding herself at a crossroads when tragedy strikes her family, agrees to marry Magnus - but sudden elevation to the gentry cannot recompense her adequately for what she is forced to endure...
