Christmas At Pennington’s by Rachel Brimble Book Tour and Giveaway! Brimble @rararesources @RachelBrimble

Christmas At Pennington’s

Gripping drama as Pennington's department store prepares for a glittering Christmas in 1911, but a killer stalks the women of Bath.
Christmas sees Pennington's at its most glorious, thronged with shoppers, its grand staircase and balcony adorned with holly, mistletoe, tinsel and lights. It should be the happiest time, but dramas are seething beneath the surface.

For Cornelia Culford, in charge of jewelry, a divorce hearing looms, where she could lose custody of her young sons to her overbearing and unfaithful husband.

For Stephen Gower, being head of security at Pennington's is the perfect refuge from a tragic past at Scotland Yard. But soon the past will call him back, as Joseph Carter and Elizabeth Pennington beg him to help solve the murder of Joseph's first wife, now that it seems as if the killer has struck again.

For Joseph and Elizabeth, their marriage depends on exorcising the past. But can it ever be laid to rest?

Five Reasons You Should Read A Rebel At Pennington’s…
1) Department Stores – who doesn’t love a department store?? Even today, department stores hold a certain kind of wonder. The various floors, choices, colour, light and excitement fill us (or at least me!) with a sense of opportunity. Now transport yourself back to a time when department stores were a new phenomenon. A place where shoppers could come and browse, touch and taste the merchandise before they made a single purchase. Department stores were places of social interaction, places to see and be seen. The glamour was wonderful and, in some ways, it still is today.

2) Women’s Suffrage – The first book in the Pennington’s series, The Mistress of Pennington’s, covered women in business and A Rebel At Pennington’s is all about women obtaining the vote. This was a period in history that captured my attention when I was a young teenager and still inspires me today. I’ve wanted to write a book covering women’s suffrage for a long time and, at last, the right time and characters arrived. The passion and fight of the amazing women who paved the way for liberty and opportunity started over a hundred years ago, but remains a fight that continues today…

3) Esther Stanbury – How I love Esther! As the heroine of this book, she was an absolute joy and privilege to write. Feisty, caring and hurting, she is an all-round wonderful woman. She began life as a character unfairly treated by her family. Yet, as she grew into herself in book 1 (The Mistress of Pennington’s), it soon became clear she needed a book of her own. In A Rebel At Pennington’s, Esther enters as a suffragist, peaceful yet determined in her campaigning for the vote. As the suffrage movement gathers momentum, she has to battle with her internal demons as well as outside obstacles. I adore her!

4) Lawrence Culford – A widowed father and successful hotelier, Lawrence Culford is a man of passion and integrity. Someone who suffered terrible treatment at the hands of his father but rose to achieve phenomenal success alone and with an incomparable self-belief. When he meets Esther, he quickly accepts he’s met the woman who will complete him. The trouble is, how does he convince such a new, independent and ambitious woman that she could be happy as his wife and mother to his first wife’s children?

5) Female Empowerment – As a woman in today’s world, I am as influenced by female pioneers of the past as I am by successful women today. I revere women who support other women. Women who want women to stand proud and chase their dreams. This sums up the Pennington’s series completely. I hope these books entertain, empower and influence readers to believe if the heroines of these books could do the things they did in the early 20th century, what can they achieve today?
