A Similar Devotion

Description

In the North East of England at the dawn of the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries, two women face tragedy and challenges. Set within the compelling political landscape of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, and the complications and frustrations of the digital age, this dual romantic narrative shows that upheaval and revolution are no match for the constancies of love. Alternately tense, dramatic and joyful, A Similar Devotion follows two women separated in time, but united in their determination to overcome the obstacles they face throughout the events and relationships that colour their lives. The intertwining stories reveal that despite the contrasting worlds in which they live, love has a power to heal and bring happiness that neither woman expected. Susan Bell encapsulates the romantic past with the same vigour as the vibrant present.
