The Man in Homespun — Margaret Malcolm

Caroline was a country girl born and bred. Transplanted to London, she found to her dismay that she was completely alien to town life, though to Clive, her fiance, it was the perfect existence. Her heart was in Barrowmead, that remote farm amid the beautiful Yorkshire dales. But Barrowmead belonged to Adam, Clive's half-brother, "the man in homespun", who didn't get on well with Clive, and who, it was all too evident from the beginning. strongly disapproved of Caroline herself, and of the engagement.
