The Word Garden

The Word Garden, Book 4, The Welsh Marches Series

Maggie is the happiest of brides - her life is perfect. It is the 1970s and she is the perfect wife.

Her perfect husband Gordon is handsome, charming and owns his own business.

He also has a mistress and his business is in financial trouble; two things that draw him more and more deeply into dangerous and illegal activities. Two things he can never tell his wife.

In time Maggie begins to grow up. She learns about women's liberation and feminism and begins to form her own opinions about her place in the world and in her marriage.

The inevitable crash between her evolving views and Gordon's rigid orthodox and pedantic values, and the ultimate betrayal, force her to cope through prescription drugs and a dedication to her flower garden and its very, very special plants.

They are two people living double lives.

Who will survive this marriage?
