Book excerpt: Aunt Bel is the sequel to The Wax Fruit Trilogy, the story of the Moorhouse family and their rise from humble beginnings in rural Ayrshire to a position of wealth and influence in Victorian Glasgow. As the Victorian era draws to a close, Bel Moorhouse seems to have everything she ever wanted - prosperity, security, an ideal husband and, above all, a prominent place in respectable Glasgow society. Years of ruthless social ambition and an insatiable desire to succeed have seen Bel and her family rise to heights they could hardly have dreamed of when they first came to Glasgow. But Bel's well-ordered world is not as secure as it seems. Beneath the facade of polite convention and cosy ritual, trouble is brewing, bringing with it the spectre of disgrace and the ruin of everything she holds most dear.
