"I found myself bathing in the wonderful descriptions . . . Newbery writes with grace and immediacy" (Vivien Hamilton Daily Telegraph)
"A gothic romance dealing with the most taboo subject of all . . . Newbery has created a climactic period story, compelling in its description and psychological drama . . . the relationship between art and life is starkly framed" (Elaine Williams TES Teacher)
"Unfolds with horrific credibility and total suspense" (Gill Roberts Carousel)
"This novel calls to mind the writings of the Bronte sisters . . . Despite or maybe because of the author seeming so unconcerned with current trends, this book works on every level. The plot is full of twists, the charcters are multi-dimensional, and the atmosphere of that grand Victorian house, with all its intrigue and hierarchy, is electric. Set in Stone is a gripping page-turner for children and adults alike" (Glasgow Herald)
"This is a plot-driven, exciting thriller" (Audrey Baker Inis)
When naïve and impressionable artist, Samuel Godwin, accepts the position of tutor to the daughters of wealthy Ernest Farrow, he does not suspect that he's walking into a web of deception. He is drawn into the lives of the three young women who live at Fourwinds: Charlotte Agnew, the governess; demure Juliana, the elder daughter; and her passionate and wilful younger sister, Marianne, who intrigues Samuel to the point of obsession.
And it is not just the people who entrance Samuel. The house, Fourwinds, holds mysteries of its own. What lies behind the disappearance of the West Wind carving and the gifted sculptor who created it? Soon Samuel and Charlotte start to uncover horrifying and dangerous secrets . . .
This thrilling novel, set in the late nineteenth century, will hold you in its grip until the very last page.
'Wonderful descriptions . . . Newbery writes with grace and immediacy' Daily Telegraph

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
