The "Steeas" Trilogy
3 primary works Complete
Book 1
Book 2
It is the dawn of the 20th century. A tiny storm-swept fishing village on the tip of the North Yorkshire coast has just been discovered by a group of artists, soon to become famous as the Staithes Group. They are readily accepted as part of the community and Evelyn Dacre, a young local woman, often sits for them. Seasons O'Steeas chronicles three generations of Evelyn's seafaring family in this isolated inbred community, cursed by tragedy at sea and little room for love on land. Where daily life is steeped in folklore and superstition, touched by the macabre. Where your funeral's the highlight of your life, and your parents force you to marry your cousin "to keep t'brass in t'family".
