A Curse Dark As Gold by Elizabeth Bunce
This ravishing debut novel is a ghost story, spun with a romance, woven with a mystery, and shot through with fairytale. Charlotte Miller has always scoffed at talk of a curse on her family's woollen mill, which holds her beloved small town together. But after her father's death, the bad luck piles up: departing workers, impossible debts, an overbearing uncle. Then a stranger named Jack Spinner offers a tempting proposition: he can turn straw into gold thread, for the small price of her mother's ring. As Charlotte is drawn deeper into her bargains with Spinner-and a romance with the local banker-she must unravel the truth of the curse on the mill and save the community she's always called home.| SKU | Unavailable |
