Her pride and her strength prevented their fears and hates from overwhelming them. There was Jack, her younger son, trapped into marrying a shrew; and Lottie, her sister, who was not quite... normal. And there was Larry, the bright one, the handsome one, who was obsessed with the memory of the girl who had jilted him. She was married now, they said, and happily too.

He works down the pit with his father and brother but dreams of leaving and becoming a writer. Falling for the glamourous Pam he ditches Jessie who is safe and reliable but she then ditches him leaving him alone.
The book starts when Pam returns as a married woman things are changed in the small community forever.
This book is not one of my favourite by the author by a long way and is very slow and tortuous at times.
the plot seems contrived at times and it's hard to sympathise with people who bring a lot on themselves.
A pleasant enough read which comes to an inevitable conclusion ( )
