A stranger came to town and stole her heart

Sue Pringle has never met anyone like John Darnay before. A painter who roams the countryside with brush in hand, Darnay is so absorbed in his art that he can barely remember to feed himselfâ??a stark contrast to the practical shopkeepers and shepherds of her tiny village.

Working as his housekeeper allows Sue to observe the eccentric Darnay unnoticed as he goes about his work translating the beautiful Scottish countryside onto canvas... and Sue soon realizes that not only has she been transfixed by his arresting artwork, she has fallen in love with Darnay himself. But will he ever look up from his paints long enough to love her back?

One of celebrated author D.E. Stevenson's earliest and most beloved novels, The Baker's Daughter is a heartwarming story of finding love in unexpected places.… (meer)

Delightful, fun, swell characters, real people, uplifting. I'm so glad I received this as a gift. DE Stevenson is always wonderful. This is one of the best. Just right for an escape to a kinder simpler time. ( )

A very pleasant book that ends rather abruptly. Unfortunately it is not part of a series, because I would have liked to read further. ( )

Sue, the daughter of a baker, impulsively accepts a position as housekeeper for a painter and his wife living in an old flour mill - and risks scandal by remaining after Mrs Darnay leaves her husband.

This is a gentle, meandering sort of story, with picturesque Scottish scenery and fortuitous turns of events. A bit too fortuitous, really, but there’s something rather comforting about it all, so I was happy to suspend disbelief. If I read nothing but books like this, I think I would find them lacking, but it’s nice to read one every so often. I should read more Stevenson.

The new happy atmosphere and the daily contact with Darnay’s mind were doing strange things to Sue. She felt the stirring of growth, not consciously but more as a plant must feel its ripening. The river was a thread of melody, running through her life as a thread runs through beads, binding it into a harmonious whole. She heard it all day as she went about the house, but it was at night that she was most conscious of its song. Sometimes in the stillness the sound of the river would change with the rise in the level of its waters and she would hear it swell from a trickle, which splashed over the old wheel, into a turbulent roar like a giant, suddenly enraged—or she would go to sleep with the roar of a rainstorm in her ears and wake to find it past.

A curlew, winging its way across Southern Scotland, would see the little town of Beilford as a handful of grey pebbles cast down on the banks of the river Bell.
