The Deep Well at Noon by Jessica Stirling is a sweeping historical saga set in 1920s London, where class clashes, family feuds, and forbidden love collide. When Holly Beckman, a spirited young woman from the backstreets of Lambeth, unexpectedly inherits a quarter share in a prestigious Mayfair antique shop, she quickly finds herself at odds with the wealthy, entitled Aspinall family.
While battling the contempt of David Aspinall and his haughty sister Andrea, Holly also faces strife at home — her father’s violent temper and her brother’s criminal schemes. Amidst the turmoil, Holly’s heart is torn between her fierce ambition and the brooding, war-scarred poet Christopher Deems, whose love threatens to upend everything she’s fought for.
Fans of Catherine Cookson and Dilly Court will adore this evocative tale of love, resilience, and destiny in post-war London.
