Replenish the Earth is a gentle 18th century tale of a young woman who unexpectedly inherits her family’s mansion in Dorset. It’s crumbling and there’s little money coming in from the much diminished estate, but she falls in love with it on sight.
Jacobs excels at creating vivid, memorable characters, and her latest novel will delight readers who enjoy their historical fiction tempered with a nice bit of romance. Historical fiction fans will love the brave young heroine who fights for a home of her own.
