A further chronicle of the Howarth family and the town of Millbridge during the industrial revolution begun in Kit's Hill. William Wilde Howarth, twenty-one years old and handsome is a man of his time, ruthless, ambitious, and energetic. His smithy at Flawnes Green will not satisfy him for long. His future as a great mill-owner will be helped by Caleb Scholes, the Quaker ironmaster, and his lovely daughter, Zelah. Among his loves will be the wife of his patron, Lord Kersall, and the poignant Hannah Garside. William denies himself nothing and achieves almost everything.Published in the U.S. with the title, An Imperfect Joy.
