Description
Kitty Clegg has always accepted her role as kitchen maid at Manor Farm with hard work and dedication. Now, at sixteen, she sees an opportunity to improve her circumstances by becoming a lady's maid. Handsome Jack Thorndyke has long been a source of admiration for Kitty, and when he asks her to be his chosen Harvest Nell, she is overjoyed. However, Kitty fails to heed warnings about Jack's character, and his playful charm has also attracted the attention of another young woman from a higher social class. As the last of the golden Lincolnshire corn is cut, Kitty must confront the reality of her situation and decide whether her dreams will be scattered like chaff upon the wind. Set against the backdrop of the turbulent years before and after the First World War, Chaff Upon The Wind is a story of courage, loyalty, and love that explores the complexities of life in rural England during this period.
