Excerpt from The Heir of Wast-Wayland: A Tale
As travellers from distant points, unconscious of each others existence, set forth in the morning with one com mon object in view - the reaching a certain hostel at night, or the visiting some spot of interest, so occurs it daily in the great journey of life. At one and the same moment various individuals, as yet unknown to each other, are drawn together by circumstance, or destiny, towards one common meeting point.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells three stories of interconnected strangers drawn together by circumstance and destiny towards the landed estate called Vast-Wayland in the North of England. As they converge, their lives become irrevocably linked to the estate and to one another, for better or worse. Through their experiences, the author explores momentous life eventsā"often sad, strange, and life-alteringā"as well as the enduring influence such events have on the decisions we make and the paths we choose. The author crafts a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of inheritance, marriage, betrayal, and self-discovery, within the broader context of societal norms and family expectations. The result is a nuanced and thought-provoking work that sheds light on the nature of our connections to the past, present, and future.
