The Pillars of the House Volume 1

‘The Pillars of the House Volume 1’ - or ´Under Wode, Under Rode´ - is the first instalment of English writer Charlotte Mary Yonge’s story about the Underwood children.

Three years after the birth of her twins, Mrs Underwood dies, leaving her thirteen children orphaned.

Felix, the oldest child at 16 years of age, and his eldest sister, Wilmet, are determined their family will stay together.

Set in the industrial town of Bexley, this Victorian family saga tells the story of the children as they struggle to survive and find their way in the world against all odds.

This is a story of hope, love, sacrifice, and family, and it is ideal for anyone looking for a great, heartwarming family saga.
