The Dreaming Stones - Tapa blanda

'If it seems far too long since you read a really good novel ... this is the book you've been waiting for ... compelling, and ... utterly convincing. Harrison's perceptiveness, reliably elegant style and compassionate awareness of the subtle vagaries of the human heart make hers a book you're neither likely nor willing to forget.' -- Harpers & Queen 'A consummate storyteller, Harrison weaves their tales into an absorbing page-turner.' -- Woman & Home Praise for THE GRASS MEMORIAL: 'An evocative novel.' -- Woman & Home 'Ambitious ... an epic that takes enduring love as its theme.' -- Good Housekeeping 'A good historical saga ... weaving a love story that spans the Crimean War, the Second World War and present-day rural England.' -- Red Magazine

In second century AD, Claudia leaves Rome for the far northern province of Britain where her new husband, Publius, is commander of a frontier garrison. But for their love, she is isolated in a strange land. In the late twentieth century, Miranda Tattersall - the iconic model 'Rags' - becomes the third wife of her great love, Lord Frederick Stratton, so beginning a love affair with the Strattons' great house, Ladycross, near Northumbria's great Wall. When her husband dies, Rags must decide between honouring the past and embracing the future. Roberta Govan, long divorced after a brief and disastrous marriage, finally buys a place her own, away from all past attachments and associations. Or so she thinks. Claudia, Rags, Bobby: their stories are linked by a wild and beautiful place; the events that brought them to it, and the powerful loves that made it 'home'.
