- Synopsis
- Working at a women&’s clinic in 1920s England alienates a young woman from her family and endangers so much more in this emotional saga. Isabella Ashton has always been her father&’s favourite, but when she gets involved with the new Birth Control Movement, he is scandalised. A decade has elapsed since the end of the Great War and running a family planning clinic in Salford is challenging but rewarding work. Bella is grateful for the help of Violet Howarth, a generous-hearted woman who takes her in off the street. Before long, a friendship with Violet&’s son, Dan, blossoms into the beginnings of love. But Bella also crosses paths with handsome ne&’er-do-well Billy Quinn, leader of an illegal betting ring, and everything she has worked for is suddenly put at risk. This is a bewitching tale of drama, jealousy and the fight for women&’s rights, perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Nadine Dorries.Praise for The Favourite Child &“Compelling and fascinating.&” —Middlesborough Evening Gazette
