For better or for worse... Loving vows or a life sentence?
This is one of the dilemmas the four respectable ladies face in Barbara Toner’s latest novel. It’s 1930 and the effects of the depression are being keenly felt. Whether you were a wife or desperate to become a wife, choices were limited, mostly to men who lived nearby.
With her trademark wit Barbara Toner explores the nature of attraction, love, married life and the many ways reality differs from the ideal. It’s as relevant today as it was in the 1930s. The chances for married bliss are slight when life intervenes at every opportunity, say when attraction fades, or when you put your children before your husband. What happens when priorities collide or when marrying for need makes better sense than marrying for love?
