About this listen

An irresistible saga of a woman whose quest to regain her happiness takes her through the darkness of grief and despair, by Sunday Times best-selling author Josephine Cox.

The marriage of Marcia and Curt Ratheter seems idyllically happy. As much in love now as on their wedding day, nothing can mar their joy. But one fateful day in 1931, Curt disappears, leaving Marcia her two daughters bereft.

Then Barty Bendall admits his love to Marcia. Desperately trying to forget the past, Marcia moves to Blackburn with him, but soon Barty sinks into bad ways, tyrannising the family. He particularly focuses his aggression on Polly, Curt and Marcia’s first-born, blonde as an angel but afflicted since birth with an ominous shadow over her health.

Even in troubled times, Marcia is a fighter. But when she hears the news that Curt has reappeared, she finds herself the helpless prey of wildly conflicting emotions.
