The Wax Fruit Trilogy: The Puritans
03 July 2025Imprint: Black & White Publishing
Synopsis
The unmissable final chapter in the rise and fall of the Moorhouse family
The Moorhouse clan has worked hard to restore their name and prosperity. Despite many trials, they have finally become 'somebodies' - which makes Bel even more distressed by the behaviour of Phoebe and Henry, the unruliest members of the family.
As their lives are touched by triumph and tragedy, Henry and Phoebe make their way to Vienna, glittering centre of the Habsburg Empire, seeking new opportunity and wealth.
But can Phoebe, elusive and brilliant creature that she has become, ever truly leave Glasgow behind, or will family loyalty pull her back home - for better or worse?
