The Scourge of Sutton
by Andrew1701

Devon, 1895. An agoraphobic clockmaker and an ambitious stonemason experience a meeting of intellects and hearts. To secure Ellice Chandler’s love, Rayner Palowicz embarks on a secret and treacherous journey to build a great monument for her at a remote subtropical island. But, as distance, suffering and obsession test his physical and psychological limits, and his silence erodes her faith, will their relationship survive the separation?
