The Families of Fairley Terrace Sagas span five novels published between 2014 and 2019, all set in and around a row of miners’ cottages in the Somerset coalfield during the early 1900s. All The Dark Secrets opens the series, followed by The Miner’s Daughter, The Girl Below Stairs, The Widow’s Promise, and The Sister’s Secret.

Each book focuses on different characters within the community, but the shared setting and overlapping families create a tapestry of working-class life in Edwardian England. Felton draws on the history of the Somerset coalfield to ground her stories in specific details of the period.
