About the Collection

Val Wood's novels are known for their historical settings, family relationships and emotionally driven stories, often featuring characters facing hardship, difficult choices and changing circumstances. The seven books in this collection span settings and periods including Victorian Yorkshire, Hull and other communities across northern England.

Homecoming Girls is set in Hull in 1874 and follows the story of Jewel Newmarch, an adopted young woman whose mysterious origins lead her and her sister towards America.

His Brother's Wife follows Harriet Miles in 1860 as she faces hardship and uncertainty after losing her position at a hostelry.

The Harbour Girl brings a seaside setting and the story of Jeannie, whose life is connected to the harbour and the fishing community.

The Innkeeper's Daughter centres on a young woman living with her family at the Woodman Inn in the Yorkshire countryside.

The Lonely Wife follows Beatrix Fawcett, an eighteen-year-old woman whose arranged marriage takes her into an uncertain new life in rural Yorkshire.

Four Sisters focuses on Matty and her three younger sisters as they navigate family, responsibility and the challenges of growing up.

Children of Fortune is set in 1864 and follows Beatrix and her three children after the death of her husband, as the family faces an uncertain future.

Customer photo review of Stormlight Archives HC Box Set 1-4: The Way of Kings, Words of Radiance, Oathbringer, Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive)

I’m so unbelievably stoked and happy about both sets the Mistborn and the Storm Light archives hardback books that I got from the reading spa. I just randomly fell across the reading spa in searching for these quality of books and the reading spa has far surpassed my expectations. I am really excited to continue to fill my library with hardcover books from the reading spa for years to come. Great prices, the books are an amazing shape and a brand new and they shipped them to you quickly. Thank you again for being a place I can count on for good quality, hardcover books.!

Thanks again, we are stoked that you are our customer.

These are such beautiful books. I just wish I had them all when my five kids were small. We were given eight over the years as gifts from various people. I have a large, hardbound book with all the stories in it. These stories are good for everyone to read, no matter what their age. Little kids like the nursery rhymes and bigger kids like the sass of Squirrel Nutkin. Thank you for having these books; I thought there was no place to get them but England.
