Nancy Carson’s unputdownable period sagas are set mostly in the Black Country, a heavily industrialised area of England’s Midlands that lies west of Birmingham, and which was the cradle of the Industrial Revolution. Full of humour, romance, and poignancy, Nancy’s novels are also sensuous, gritty and down-to-earth, featuring engaging heroines and a toe-curling variety of heros, as well as other unforgettable characters drawn from all walks of life.

Nancy’s Carson’s latest novels

HONOUR THY FATHER

Honour Thy Father is Nancy’s latest novel, and different from any that have gone before. In 1853, in Hobart Town, Van Diemen’s Land (later known as Tasmania), Isabel Saxby is a successful business woman with independent means, due in part to an anonymous benefactor. Unmarried, Isabel falls in love with Barnaby Micklejohn, a widower assigned from England to work as an official in the colonial government. While their romance flourishes, Isabel carefully avoids divulging her past . . . But then she receives a letter from her mother begging her to return to Worcester in England to say goodbye forever to her dying father. On the voyage to England on Brunel’s SS Great Britain her extraordinary past is revealed. But at what cost to her future with Barnaby?
