A day will come [ang.]

Autor: Howard, Audrey

Daisy Brindle begins life as a "field girl" the poorest of the poor, tramping through Lancashire from sowing to harvest to winters in the mines, work- ing at the hardest and most degrading labour. Her life is dominated by the pitiless gangmaster who treats the women and Children under his control like slaves.

Then one day Miles Thornley rides into her life. Handsome, courteous, Lord Thornley`s heir is the most beautiful man Daisy has ever seen. Inspired by her admiration for Miles

and also her devoted love for Cassie, an orphan child, Daisy dares to dream of a better life. When fate frees her from the gangmaster, then gives her a chance to train as a servant, Daisy seizes her opportunity - and finds herself working for Lord Thornley. Soon, she has the chance to give herself to Miles. And it is not until he destroys poor, simple Cassie that she understands that Miles is not the perfect man of her dreams, but something quite different: spoilt, arrogant, a dangerous enemy.

Driven from the Thornley mansion to the streets of Liverpool, Daisy is res- cued once more from destitution -this time by a man of honesty and charac- ter, the sea captain Sam Lassiter. Relentlessly, Daisy plots her revenge on Miles Thornley. Until Sam Lassiter makes her choose between him and her obsession.
