About this ebook
Norfolk, 1920. Barbara Bosgrove has lived in the market town of Melsham all her life, and is looking forward to the annual Harvest Supper dinner and ball - the first since the dark days of the First World War. George Kennett, a fiercely ambitious man, has had his eye on Barbara since spotting her with her great friend Penny, and Penny's brother Simon. He begins a slow and steady courtship and Barbara is eventually won over, agreeing to marry a man she believes she can rely on. Little does she realise how wrong she can be. Worn down by George's unfaithfulness during their marriage, Barbara feels she has lost all the vitality of her youth. But Simon is not prepared to let Barbara lose sight of the woman she really is - the woman he has always loved. He reawakens Barbara's passion and fighting spirit, but at what cost?

Reviews for The Fountain
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
4/5
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Set in the 1920s, this book is about Barbara, a young girl whose friend's brother is rather keen on her.. until the slightly older George steps into the scene. George is determined to make Barbara his wife, and he always gets what he wants. Unfortunately, some of his method are far from honest.
The story is about Barbara's growing up and discovering who she really is, what she wants of life, and where she can best deploy her talents. Surprises from the past are uncovered, although by the time they were explained I had guessed what was coming. Pleasant light reading.
