Book description
A gritty tale of family and a love that holds no bounds, from the
best-selling author of Nobody's Girl and A Father's Revenge
Celia Frost has always thought herself a cut above the other residents
of Lark Rise in Battersea. When her beloved son, Thomas, starts seeing
Amy Miller, a girl from the bottom of the Rise, Celia disapproves,
thinking her common.
When Celia's husband leaves her and Thomas announces he is to marry
Amy, she is more determined than ever to split them up. Celia needs an
ally, so she writes to her elder son, Jeremy, asking him to come home.
Jeremy's arrival unleashes a tide of jealously and hate. He wants
everything that belongs to Thomas - especially Amy. As Jeremy's
dangerous obsession for his brother's wife grows, Amy must fight for her
marriage, and her baby.
The heartbreaking new novel from the bestselling author of A Father's
Revenge and Nobody's Girl. Kitty Neale was raised in South London and
this working class area became the inspiration for her novels. In the
1980s she moved to Surrey with her husband and two children, but in 1998
there was a catalyst in her life when her son died, aged just 27.
After working for 2 years with other bereaved parents in a support
group, Kitty took up writing as a form of catharsis, and now lives in
Spain with her husband.
