About this listen

Prudence Dudley was a woman who appeared to have everything: an undeniably attractive woman who had already achieved considerable success as a novelist. Yet she remained at odds with life after her sad rejected childhood and a more recent deeply wounding emotional crisis. Nearing a breakdown, Prudence seeks support from her staunch and supportive Auntie Maggie, and flees to her rented cottage in the Lake District. They encounter the owner of the cottage, aggressive and overbearing David Bernard Michael McVeigh. In time, Pru comes to learn that his iron façade is not the whole man and that life had dealt him as raw a deal as ever it had her.

Relentlessly, Pru finds herself drawn more and more into the affairs of a strange household. By helping those in her household, will Pru come closer to finding her happiness?

Interesting characters

Not one of Catherine Cooksons best books. I can listen to all of her books more than once, not this one I’m afraid, I found it rather boring.

Another big disappointment

This is the latest book in a line of disappointing Catherine Cookson books which was not improved by the wonderful narration of Anne Dover.
