Welcome To Plotlands
1930: Joanna Marshall lives with her beloved mother in the household of her somewhat less-beloved aunt, who wishes the pair of them gone. When her mother dies, a grief-stricken Joanna sees an opportunity to escape - Ma's title deed to a rural patch of land. Welcomed into the Plotlands community, Joanna begins to make a new life for herself, and meets handsome solicitor Ben Richardson. But he wouldn't be interested in an ordinary girl like her...would he?

Meant as a precursor to "A touch of the exotic" this was a charming romance, yet again with a huge dollop of adventure and drama too.
Joanna has just lost her mother so moves out of evil Aunt Ivy's house to start a new life in Dunton.
She moves to a place called Plotlands, an ad hoc community of tents, shacks and half built houses.
Desperately trying to carve a new life for herself she takes a job to find the building of her new home.
Then she meets Ben Richardson...
Hardship, endurance and flouting social class issues of the day is what they both must do in order to be together, but are they strong enough stomatart out on that new life together?
Really enjoy this author, the interconnected way in which she crafts her stories and the fact the whole romance doesn't just rely on that but also drama, danger and other situations to carry the plot along which is more my style than just a saccharine love story.
