About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A brand-new historical saga from the best-selling author of A Shilling for a Wife, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin.

Manchester, 1867.

Mara longs for a peaceful life free of violence and poverty. But she has married into the O'Hara family, who have a reputation for their drunkenness and quick tempers. Her eldest stepson, Conrad, is the worst of them all - a brute and a criminal who makes Mara's life a misery.

But then Conrad is accused of a crime he didn't commit, and Mara is the only one who can prove his innocence. Perhaps this is her chance to finally free her family from his toxic influence....

Will Mara clear Conrad's name, or will she have the courage to break free from her stepson's villainy?

A bit overated i think going by a lot of the reviews, but reasonable, it had a few of those times where all she had to do was say what was happening and it would be ok, but of course she didn't and i find those situations very iratating ! but a fair story I suppose.

ok ish
