review written by Maggie Perkovic and read live on the bookshow 17th July 2015
Kathy Burton longs to escape
the drudgery of her life as an unpaid labourer
on her father's farm. Finally
she decides to make the break and with her
mother's encouragement goes to
live in the city with an aunt Jemima Robinson
who finds her employment in a
dept. store which she thoroughly enjoys. She
falls in love with the manager
Tony Kendall and he reciprocates her love,
but his mother a bitter and
possessive woman manages to ruin their chances
of happiness together, and
when Tony is called up as the War begins Kathy
starts her life singing with a
Concert party which she loves having an excellent
singing voice although
behind her performances she is breaking her heart.
Through tribulations she
and Tony are reconciled though not before the war
brings suffering and
heartbreak to the stalwart people of Lincolnshire.
Very good and enjoyable,
quite a page turner.
Recommended. Maggie Perkovic.
