The Dreaming Stones

The Romans had gods of hearth and home, to ensure the safety, health and happiness of all who lived there. But throughout history, people have found home to be a place of the heart. And its gods to be human.

This is the story of three women discovering the meaning of "home", and its place in their lives.

In second century AD, Claudia leaves Rome for the far northern province of Britain where her new husband, Publius, is commander of a frontier garrison. But for their love, she is isolated in a strange land, and haunted by the presence of a terrible secret in her husband's life.

In the late twentieth century, Miranda Tattersall - the iconic model "Rags" - becomes the third wife of her great love, Lord Frederick Stratton, so beginning a love affair with the Strattons' great house, Ladycross, near Northumbria's great Wall. When her husband dies, Rags must decide between honouring the past and embracing the future.

Roberta Govan, long divorced after a brief and disastrous marriage, finally buys a place of her own, away from all past attachments and associations. Or so she thinks. But the past has a habit of coming home to roost.

Claudia, Rags, Bobby: their stories are linked by a wild and beautiful place; the events that brought them to it, and the power of love that made it "home".

'The Dreaming Stones' is a romantic epic about individuals separated by nearly two thousand years, but connected by the spell of one place and two great loves linked over time.
