Born into direst poverty in 1820s Liverpool, Linny Gow escapes the life of prostitution her stepfather has forced her into, learns how to be a young lady, and flees to India, where the British Raj is in its infancy.

A hugely compelling novel which heralds an exciting new talent in women's fiction, The Linnet Bird is a once-in-a-lifetime read.

Recensione
A stirring tale of one woman's search for personal fulfilment (Woman & Home)
Compulsive reading ... (The Linnet Bird) succeeds in being more than just a historical saga; it is a rites-of-passage tale with a very convincing and resourceful heroine (The Lady)
A deliciously passionate adventure, with a richly descriptive and mesmerising prose style ... Sometimes disturbing, but always enthralling (Lancashire Evening Post)
This is a sweeping, unputdownable saga (think The Thorn Birds and Gone with the Wind) that you'll probably want to tell all your friends about (Woman)

A sweeping, unputdownable saga (think The Thorn Birds and Gone with the Wind) that you'll want to tell all your friends about (Woman)

Absorbing ... a rich, atmospheric novel that has all the hallmarks of a mini-classic (Sunderland Echo)
Descrizione del libro
'Sheer bliss ... A superb read in every way, exciting, moving, with a fantastic and unpredictable plot. We use that old cliché 'unputdownable' so often that it has little real meaning anymore, but I can assure you I couldn't leave THE LINNET BIRD till I finished it ... It stands alone, proud and beautiful and I finished it with deep regret' LESLEY PEARSE
