The Quarry Girl

Set in August 1883 on Dartmoor, this story follows Ling Southcott, a quarryman's daughter with a curious mind, who dreams of a broader world beyond her remote village. When a new railway connects her hamlet to nearby towns, Ling’s life is unexpectedly transformed after a chance rescue by a young medical student, prompting her to question her future and the possibilities beyond her traditional life. Tania Crosse crafts a richly detailed narrative exploring themes of opportunity, choice, and personal growth.
