If your whole world changed, how would you cope?
Josephine Cox writes a unputdownable saga in The Woman Who Left – a tale of love, family and bitter rivalries. Perfect for fans of Cathy Sharp and Rosie Goodwin.
Louise and Ben Hunter’s loving marriage is marred only by their unfulfilled longing for a child. Living and working with Ben’s father, Ronnie, they are quietly contented. But when Ronnie dies, their whole world changes.
Ben’s lazy brother, Jacob, returns, convinced he stands to inherit Ronnie’s small fortune. And he means to have his brother’s wife; though just as she did years before, Louise warns him off. Jacob, however, is not so easily dismissed. When he realises Ben will inherit everything, Jacob is beside himself with rage, and commits a terrible deed, one that threatens to destroy everything his brother and Louise hold dear…
