Summary
Jessie Burton is lively and intelligent - she wants more than the respectable life in service her mother has planned for her. Times are changing; railways are being built across the land, bringing new freedom and possibilities. Jessie tastes that freedom when she meets an ambitious young navvy, newly arrived in Yorkshire. The attraction between them is overwhelming. And Jared Wilde is determined to make Jessie his wife. The primitive, colourful shanty towns that spring up around the railway works are nothing like the safe world Jessie once knew. But in spite of the hardness of life there, she finds happiness with Jared. Until another navvy becomes determined to destroy their future together....

Awful
If you like a book full of suggested violence and rape towards a woman this is the book for you - it made me very uncomfortable.

Jessie
Another brilliant story by Anna Jacobs and beautifully narrated by Anna Dover. I can’t get enough of her stories. A great story teller.

Loved every minute.
I was completely absorbed from the very beginning. I love the historical references Anna always includes in her books, really inspires me to learn more about the subject, in this case about the beginnings of the railways. Really didn't want the story to end, would love to read more about Jessie's life. Anne Dover is the very best narrator, I will always seek out books she has narrated.

Great story
Thoroughly enjoyed my first read from this Author. Did extra chores to be able to have a listen. Anne Dover as usual brought the book to life.

Another wonderful story by Anna Jacobs
Absolutely loved this. Anne Dover's wonderful narration brought the various characters to life. From the lowliest maid to the lord's, ladies and squires.
Jessie is a determined young woman, who does not have an easy life, and longs to be genuinely loved and cared for. Despite initial misgivings, she finds this in Jared, her strong, big, dependable husband from a humble background. They quickly forge a life together, which although not an easy one, they cope admirably, and their love grows stronger through adversity.
