The Long Shadow

Anna Gilbert

first published 1984 St Martins Pr, 1985 hardcover 301 pages

Hannah Medlar was raised by her strictly pious brother Joseph and his wife, Zilla whom she idolized. On April day in 1852 after having taken a wrong turn in their pony trap, she and Zilla arrived by chance at a village wedding where Zilla recognized the bride as an old friend. Hannah would remember this as the first in a series of events that would destroy the quiet happiness of her home.
