- Synopsis
- [From the front dust jacket flap:] "Continuing the story of romance, ambition, and struggle begun in The Good Provider, Jessica Stirling's new novel, The Asking Price, follows Kirsty and Craig Nicholson deeper into the mean streets of late-Victorian Glasgow. Their marriage, never legalized, had provided the strength that helped them make it to the city; yet as Craig becomes more and more committed to his police work, and Kirsty draws ever closer to David Lockhart, the young handsome minister, the two drift inevitably apart. When Craig's mother and younger brother fall under the influence of the rich and generous Breezy Adair, indignation and anger drive him to seek comfort from a mysterious woman from the burgh's dark slums, and his growing obsession with her threatens not only Kirsty but the future of his family too." Set in a world where grim poverty and dour respectability are in constant collision, The Asking Price is a compelling successor to The Good Provider, and another in Jessica Stirling's long line of richly detailed historical novels. Look for the first book in this quartet, The Good Provider, and book 3, The Wise Child and the fourth and final book, The Welcome Light, in the Bookshare collection. There are Over fifteen more intelligent, highly readable historical romances by Jessica Stirling in the Bookshare Library set primarily in Scotland, England and France, including the complete Mull Island, Stalker and Beckman trilogies.
