The Tailor’s Wife
Author: Alexandra Connor
Format: Paperback
The path to happiness is rarely easy . . .
A young woman struggles against family loyalty and class prejudices in this engrossing saga – perfect for fans of Josephine Cox, Rita Bradshaw and Catherine Cookson.
In the notorious back streets of 1930s Salford, Suzannah Clark is left to raise her two siblings after their mother walks out. Her father Jacob is a tailor, but his sight is failing and so – despite local outrage at her controversial career choice – Suzanna learns his trade to support the household.
Suzannah has caught the eye of the most eligible of bachelors, Edward Lyle. But Edward’s father Noel, a wealthy businessman, is appalled that Edward has fallen for a girl from the slums. Noel is determined to end the relationship.
When Suzannah’s brother is seduced by the rapacious Rina Taylor, scandal and tragedy follow. Now Noel has the ammunition he needs to prise his son away from Suzannah – or so he thinks. But Suzannah and Edward are less malleable than he imagines . . .
