A Daughter's Price

By: Emma Hornby

Narrated by: Anne Dover

She thought she was finally safe. But a roof over her head comes with a price to pay....

Laura Cannock is on the run. Suspected of killing her bullying husband, his family are on a merciless prowl for revenge. Fleeing from her beloved home of Bolton to Manchester, Laura seeks refuge with her coal merchant uncle. But it soon becomes clear that a roof over her head comes with a price - of the type so unbearable she must escape once more.

Destitute and penniless, a stench-ridden housing court in the back streets of the factories is Laura’s only hope of a dwelling - a place where both the filth and the kindness of neighbours overwhelm. Here people stick together through the odds, leading Laura to true friendship, and possibly love. But with the threat of her past still hanging over her, there’s still one battle she must fight - and win - alone....

A gritty historical saga set in Northern England in the late 1800s, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Rosie Goodwin.

not much story there

the story starts out pretty good until the characters come into play Laura the heroine is so impulsive everything she does she doubts it makes me angry and want to stop reading
Daniel her love interest is no better just plain weak in character
the story over all says alot but still didn't say anything no grip , excitement or expectation was there because I think all the characters was very weak
