When Bettys husband returns from the war a shell of the man he was, she realizes that she will be trapped with him and his shrew of a mother. Escaping, she finds a new life for herself, but she wonders if she will be able to escape her past. Finding a new life as Mabel, she finds new friends and supporters and begins to have the life she deserves.
I felt comfortable with this book as soon as I started it, and it was an easy read all the way through as many Lesley Pearse stories are. She is comfortable with telling stories of women finding there way in the world, when they were often restricted by the society rules of the time. When without money, you were often forced into doing what the family wanted and unable to choose your own path . 4/5
