With neither friends nor family, Lucy Snowe sets sail from England to find employment in a girls' boarding school in the small town of Villette. There she struggles to retain her self-possession in the face of unruly pupils, a headmistress who spies on her staff, and her own complex feelings - first for the school's English doctor and then for the dictatorial professor, Paul Emmanuel. Drawing on her own deeply unhappy experiences as a teacher in Brussels, Charlotte Bronte's last and most autobiographical novel is a powerfully moving look at isolation and the pain of unrequited love, narrated by a heroine determined to preserve an independent spirit in the face of adverse circumstances.

When Abigail Eliot accepts the job of teacher-in-charge at the village school of Linstowel, she tells herself that sheer hard work in this isolated corner of North Devon will help her forget that ghastly accident that robbed her of her husband and son. But there is another reason for her return to Linstowel - Daniel Enys, but he has changed. He is embittered, almost violent. And Abigail cannot escape him. Not only because his sons are in her care at school, but because there is a curiouus bond of sympathy between them. A sympathy that flourishes in spite of village gossip: in spite of Abigail's own common sense.

Spanning four centuries, from the 1660s to the present day, 'Following the drum' tells the stories of the women who followed their men around the world, sometimes onto the battlefield itself, and went on to become brave, headstrong and positively warlike. Army wives have "followed the drum" to the cholera-ridden valleys of the Crimea, the sweltering plains of the Indian Mutiny, the treacherous Burmese jungle and into the last Gulf War. Drawing on letters, journals and interviews, Annabel Venning pays tribute to the remarkable women who triumphed amidst the blood, battles and brawls.
