Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event.

Botanical artist Jane Saville is devastated when her manipulative mother banishes her to the countryside to protect someone else’s honour. Isolated far from home\, she is forced to live an impoverished\, secretive life to save the family from public shame. Guy Attwood is heir to a fortune\, but prefers his quiet passion for rare-apple hunting on behalf of Royal Kew Gardens to building the family’s business empire. He sets out to find a critically endangered apple species that he dreams of gifting and re-naming for his friend\, the soon-to-be coronated George V. When the paths of these people from two very different worlds collide\, Jane begins to hope for a different future\, but their new friendship is shattered by jealousy\, misunderstanding\, duty and treachery. A young boy will inspire Jane to defy the powers working against her and prove she is no woman to be outcast. Set in the picturesque English countryside\, in a forgotten orchard and beneath the ancient spire of Salisbury Cathedral\, this is a heart-wrenching story about a woman who finds that in her darkest hour she can harness her greatest strength. 								\n				\n									Due to popular demand more tickets have been released for this event. It will now be held in the Minerva Space. 								\n				\n												\n																					\n										\n									\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n					About the Author				\n				\n									Fiona McIntosh is an internationally bestselling author of novels for adults and children.
