The Cornish Sagas by Rosemary Aitken are historical romances set in the fictional village of Penvarris, Cornwall. Based on real tin-mining communities, the books follow the lives of local families through the late Victorian and Edwardian eras and into the turmoil of World War I. Aitken draws on her own Cornish roots – she was born in Penzance – to bring the landscape, dialect, and social customs of the region to life.

The 7 books in the series were published between 1995 and 2009. Each novel can be read as a standalone story, but recurring families and locations tie them together into a broader picture of a community shaped by the tin trade, class divisions, and the pressures of a changing world.
