Her first novel was Penmarric, which appears to tell of the fortunes and disputes of a Cornish family in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly over which controls the family mansion of Penmarric. As made clear by the chapter headings, the fortunes of the family closely parallel the Plantaganet family, including Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, with the mansion representing the throne.
