Description
Tara is a powerful and emotional tale of three women, each with their own struggles and desires. At its heart is Tara, a young girl who has witnessed her mother's brutal treatment at the hands of her father, and has vowed to change her life forever. As Tara navigates the dangers and prejudices of 1960s Whitechapel, she must confront the legacy of two women who have shaped her life: Mabel, whose all-consuming love for a gambler has left her on the brink of madness; and Amy, who has married a man broken by war and failure. Against this backdrop of gang leaders, rogues, and market traders, Tara's own story unfolds - one of hunger for success, love, and life on her own terms. With its vivid portrayal of a bygone era, Tara is a gripping and moving novel that explores the complexities of female relationships and the enduring power of love.
