The Yearning of the Yew

Margaret Armstrong

Happily married Beth and Martin accept a life-changing offer from Martin's employer to relocate from London to the north east, where their dream of building their own home becomes a reality. But were unforeseen forces at work to draw them to the site of the derelict farm with the ancient, lone yew tree; the place where the much abused young Bessie Elliot met her end over a century ago?

Can the marriage of Beth and Martin survive the malevolent intentions of the long-dead Bessie, whose spirit has been denied rest, her craving for revenge having been nurtured and intensified by her burial beneath the yew, with its need to wield its mythological powers over life and death?
How many lives will the embittered Bessie seek to destroy before her long-awaited desire for vengeance is fulfilled?
