About this listen

It was a wartime white wedding but it was not a love match. Annie Cooper married George McCabe for one reason only: she was expecting his child. But Annie was a girl of spirit and determined to make the marriage work. Annie applied herself to that task as she matured into a woman of character and resource.

The family prospered even as it grew. She bore George four children, but it was the first who always held her heart in the hollow of his hand. From early childhood, Rance was a problem. There were traits in his character that were hard to excuse or even understand, but whatever trouble he got into, Annie would forgive him. Mother and son were bound together by an invisible chord; invisible but strong enough to become a noose for both of them.

Brilliant read as expected 👏....I think there could have be a sequel as the ending would only result in disaster ....but hey I'm no author 😁📚

Excellent 👍

My favourite Catherine Cookson so far. I couldn’t stop listening. The characters came to life in Anne Dovers voice. She’s the best narrator of the Cookson audibles

Beautiful story
