About this listen

Rachel Smedling is not like the other women in her isolated Pennine village: she is taller, stronger, and weaves cloth like a man. Without her, the household would fall apart, for her mother is ailing and her vicious drunkard father seems to hate her so much, he would happily offer money to any man who would wed her.

When her mother dies, Rachel is at the mercy of her increasingly violent father.

Her only escape is marrying a kindly man with whom she finds happiness, if not passion, and her life begins to seem complete.

Rachel's growing prosperity infuriates her father and his cronies, however, and they will stop at nothing to see her destroyed.

Good story line

Enjoyed the story and would recommend it. It has its ups and downs throughout. The ending was very interesting and kept me interested. Really enjoy Anne Jacob’s.

The voice charactorising.

Dislike dress details which I considered unnecessary to the content of the very good story.

Loved it! These books, written by Anna Jacobs, get better every time I listen to one and Nicolette McKenzie is such a good narrator.

One of Anna Jacob’s best

There really isn’t a dull moment in this story, and towards the end, I was literally sat on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen. The story is brought wonderfully alive by Nicolette McKenzies narration.
