Landfall - RUTH

RUTH is the last novella in this much-loved saga. Painfully shy and all too aware that she can never replace her late adored sister Harriet, Ruth Pelham must find her future on her own terms – but how is she to meet anyone worthy of her, when she would rather dress in midshipman’s trousers and beachcomb her solitary way along the foreshore? Edward Pelham has an idea, but it must be played with great care: his assistant at the Admiralty has demons of his own to wrestle with. Captain Joseph Johns has paid a high price for an act of heroism… courage meets vulnerability in this poignant final chapter.
