Description
The Black Candle by Catherine Cookson
In 1880s Yorkshire, Bridget Dean Mordaunt inherits her father's candle and blacking factories at just nineteen years old. Determined to restore the businesses to their former glory, she proves herself as a confident leader by the time she turns twenty-three. However, trouble soon looms when the devious Lionel Filmore enters her family life, hoping to marry into her hard-earned wealth. As Bridget navigates this new challenge, she is forced to use all her strength and ingenuity to keep her family together. When young Lily Whitmore comes to her after her husband - an overseer in one of Bridget's factories - has wrongly been tried for his brother's murder, Bridget has no choice but to help. The decisions she makes will shape the lives of generations to come. Can Bridget's family overcome the darkness of their past to find new happiness? This powerful saga explores themes of love, loyalty and redemption in a gripping tale that spans generations.
