A High And Lonely Road

Where Silence Echoes and Secrets Linger

In A High And Lonely Road, Helen Cannam delivers a hauntingly atmospheric tale set in the windswept wilds of the English countryside. The story follows Julia, a woman drawn by the need to escape a turbulent past and find solace in a remote village perched on the edge of the moors. But the land itself holds memories older than any newcomer, and the narrow lane winding up to her new home seems to climb not just into the hills, but into the very heart of mystery. As Julia settles into the rhythms of her isolated surroundings, she soon discovers that even the most peaceful places can harbor shadows—and that the road she’s chosen is one that will change her forever.

Crossroads of Hope and Remembrance

Julia’s journey is marked by encounters with locals whose own stories are deeply entwined with the landscape: the kindly neighbor with a hidden sorrow, the farmer with secrets rooted in generations past, and the quiet presence of the moors themselves, always watchful, always waiting. As she delves deeper into village life, Julia is forced to confront questions about trust, forgiveness, and the true meaning of home. Cannam’s evocative prose captures the stark beauty of the moors and the delicate balance between isolation and belonging, weaving a narrative that explores how the past can both haunt and heal.
