ABOUT THE BOOK

BOOK DETAILS

1560, Berwick-upon-Tweed, northern England

Following the unexpected death of her father, a series of startling discoveries about the business she inherits forces Isabella Gillhespy to re-evaluate everything she understands about her past and expects from her future.

Facing financial ruin, let down by people on whom she thought she could rely, and suspected of crimes that threaten her freedom, Isabella struggles to prove her innocence.

But the stakes are even higher than she realises. In a town where tension between England and her Scottish neighbours is never far from the surface, it isn’t long before developments attract the interest of the highest authority in the land, Sir William Cecil, and soon Isabella is fighting, not just for her freedom, but her life. She must use her wits and trust her own instincts to survive.

Lady of the Quay introduces an enticing new heroine who refuses to be beaten, even as it becomes clear that her life will never be the same again.

A magazine editor by profession, Amanda Roberts is now an award-winning author. Drawing inspiration from life and special places, her books are set against real events, but her characters are all fictional, ordinary people of their time. When she’s not tapping on a computer keyboard, she can be found exploring crumbling ruins, lost in a good book or relaxing with her two ginger cats.
