Summary
From the beloved and best-selling Anna Jacobs comes a new Lancashire-based saga.
Lancashire, 1930: Leah Turner's father has been killed in an accident at the laundry, and since her mother died years ago it falls to her to become sole provider for her little sister. But women's wages are half those of men, and pawning the few belongings she has left will keep their vicious rent collector at bay for only a few weeks, so even if she finds a job, they'll lose their home.
Out of the blue, Charlie Willcox, the local pawnbroker, offers her a deal. His brother Jonah, an invalid since being gassed in the Great War, needs a wife. Charlie thinks Leah would be perfect for the job.
The idea of a marriage of convenience doesn't please Leah, but she finds Jonah agreeable enough, and moving with him to the pretty hamlet of Ellindale may be the only chance of a better life for her sister. But other people have plans for the remote Pennine valley, and the two sisters find themselves facing danger in their new life with Jonah. Can the three of them ever look to a brighter future?

Loved this story, it was a really nice listen. The narrator, Ann Dover, is fabulous. I love the tone of her voice and the way she uses it for the different characters.

Enjoyable story
I look forward to listening to the next book in this series and hopefully find out what happens with Leah and her family.
I thought the narrator was very good but that some of the characters sounded older than they were said to be.
Otherwise a great listen.

Lovely story.
I was told about this series by a friend who had discovered it by accident. As I like these types of books I decided to give it a go. I am really glad that I did. This was a wonderful story and the characters were well developed. It was a lovely easy read and I will be reading the rest of the series...
