Janets feeling for Samuel ran parallel to her feeling for Thomas. The one was her husband, the other was her child. Samuel depended on her for care and for...
Not her best book, but her first book. It was a family saga which I nearly gave up on, except that I had read it as part of a challenge, to read the first book by a favourite author. I may not have finished it, otherwise. Her storytelling improved greatly over the years as she produced one of my favourite books, Rebecca. In contrast... Very romantic, but historical and very well done! Eerie and disturbing - odd relationship with his mother. Reminds me a bit of return of the native by Thomas Hardy
