I
would tell people that you should step outside your comfort zone with
books because it is good to add more authors and genres to your
reading portfolio. Even if you do not read books like this.
I
normally read books of this genre but l also stepped outside my
comfort zone with authors and genres l am so glad l did because l
have read so many great books and come across some great authors.
Synopsis:
A spellbinding saga of family ties, heartbreak and rediscovered love.
For Eveleen Hardcastles life gets no better than growing up on pear
tree farm in the Lincolnshire countryside. Her family works so hard
for the dunmore estate and Eveleen finds it impossible to resist the
charms of their employer's son, Stephen dunmore. But Jimmy, ever
quick to antagonize, ensures that his sister's clandestine trysts do
not remain so for long . Mary Hardcastles reacts to the news of her
daughter's affair with a shocking ferocity, which seems to be born
more of bitterness than maternal protectiveness. But what is it that
fuels Mary's resentment towards her daughter? Unable to ignore her
own feelings, Eveleen continues to meet Stephen in secret. But
deception has a cruel price to pay when her beloved father is found
dead from a heartattack, and worse yet, Stephen, far from providing
Eveleen with the comfort she craves, deserts her in her hour of need
and callously evicts the Hardcastles from the farm, suddenly
homeless, Eveleen is left to take the family reins and fights to make
a new life for her family in Nottinghamshire. Then she makes a
stunning discovery about her mother's past which changes their lives
for ever.... Eveleen's brother get a girl pregnant so they are kicked
out and have to take the girl with them and they have to find yet
another home and they make the boy marry the girl who he got pregnant
and the boy then ran away to join the navy and when the girl dies in
childbirth they are left to raise her daughter and the girl never
gets to meet her father.
Review:
I found this book really easy to get in to and hard to put down once
l started reading it l also have the follow on to this book twisted
strands and l am happy to be able to read the follow on and I was
hooked on this book after reading the first page. It was sad to read
that Eveleen's father passed away due to a heartattack. When her
brother gets a girl pregnant they make him marry her. It was sad to
read that the girl died in childbirth and her husband had ran away to
join the navy. I was glad to read that Eveleen and her mother was
raising the poor girl who did not meet her mother and her father was
no where to be seen because he was in the navy. It is horrible to
read that Eveleen gets all the blame for everything that happened and
her brother gets no blame. They had a home until her got that poor
girl pregnant so l think he should get the blame. I thought family
was supposed to stick together not fight. It is upsetting that they have to break the news to Rebecca's father that she died in
childbirth and that her daughter was alive and well. I wish that
Rebecca had lived and she was raising her daughter and they did not
have to give her father bad news about his precious daughter.
