About this listen

She thought she was finally safe. But a roof over her head comes with a price to pay....

Laura Cannock is on the run. Suspected of killing her bullying husband, his family are on a merciless prowl for revenge. Fleeing from her beloved home of Bolton to Manchester, Laura seeks refuge with her coal merchant uncle. But it soon becomes clear that a roof over her head comes with a price - of the type so unbearable she must escape once more.

Destitute and penniless, a stench-ridden housing court in the back streets of the factories is Laura’s only hope of a dwelling - a place where both the filth and the kindness of neighbours overwhelm. Here people stick together through the odds, leading Laura to true friendship, and possibly love. But with the threat of her past still hanging over her, there’s still one battle she must fight - and win - alone....

A gritty historical saga set in Northern England in the late 1800s, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin.

Brilliant

I really enjoyed this story and I was so glad that it had a happy ending. Anne Dover is a brilliant narrator- all the different characters’ voices! I will certainly look for another book written by Emma Hornby.

Not the best Anne Dover Novel

A story that has more than one ending, several times it appeared to round off and wind down only to take a few more steps. Quite good but not the best.

Most enjoyable

Great writing from Emma once again. First time listening on Audible, can't wait to listen to her next one. Great dialogue, read in true lanky form, fab twists and turns.

... Wonderful story 📖

'A Daughter's Price' , what a wonderful story, Emma Hornby has done it again. The narrator of this Audible book has a very listenable voice and takes on each characters accent authentically.

Very Dull

Not much creativity, brain numbing. Took me nearly two weeks to finish listening as I kept falling asleep listening to this book.

Yawn, moan moan moan!

Very disappointing. I was looking forward to listening to this book but unfortunately I just couldn't finish this, giving up 3/4 through!
I just couldn't emphasis with her. A lot of what happens is brought on through her own doing bringing others down with her. It's just one tragedy after another....like an episode of Eastenders! Sorry!
