Out Now: The Daughter of Hardie

Agora Books is thrilled to announce that The Daughter of Hardie by Anne Melville is out now! Originally published as Grace Hardie in 1988, The Daughter of Hardie, the second title in the Hardie Family Series, is a poignant and moving saga.

The Daughter of Hardie is available to buy HERE.

Grace Hardie has grown up in a sweeping estate on the outskirts of Oxford. But her life has been a far cry from a fairytale. Ailing and asthmatic as a child, she never really found her place – not with her brothers, not with any friends – always on the outside.

And when tragedy strikes twice in the same day, Grace’s world, and her place in it, is turned upside down. Ungainly and lonely at sixteen, could the bloom of first love be the guiding light she needs? Or is the history of The House of Hardie bound to repeat itself?

As class once again threatens to tear the family apart, so too does the Great War: sweeping away this budding romance before it’s had a chance to begin. Through heartbreak and betrayal, longing and loss, Grace Hardie must adapt to this changing world and struggle to find her own way.
