Summary

Motherhood is every woman's right and the natural outcome of a happy marriage. But what then when a normal and beautiful young woman is forced to recognise, after two years as the wife of a country parson in the north of England, that her marriage will never bring her the fulfilment she desperately needs? Grace Rouse is faced with this situation and, like many other women before her, she seeks to escape a mounting sense of frustration and despair by turning from the husband she has tried in vain to love to the comfort and release offered by another man. The outcome presents a huge dilemma as Grace is forced to wage a war between a man who can give her children and love and a man who passionately desires children but can only give them his name.

Great

Another great book by Catherine Cookson, The Garment, perfectly narrated by Anne Dover. Loved this book by the dream team Catherine and Anne who compliment each other so well.

I don’t believe it

I Love Catherine Cookson but I am wondering if she had anything to do with this one Anne Dover was the best thing about it but still I can’t listen anymore
