Summary

 Disowned and desperate. But can she change her fate?

Denied
Seventeen-year-old Constance has had a privileged upbringing in Clapham, with staff to attend to her every need. But her parents have always been cold and distant, never showing her love.

Disowned
Craving affection, Constance falls into the arms of Albie Jones, the cook’s grandson. But one fateful encounter leaves her ashamed and pregnant, and she is soon shunned from the family home.

Desperate
Heartbroken and threatened by scandal, Constance is forced to wed Albie and moves to Battersea, where she suffers unforgiving stares and cruel whispers from the neighbours. Trapped in a bitter and loveless marriage without a penny to her name, Constance has no choice but to stay and surrender. Will she ever find freedom – or happiness – again?

Considering it was early 60's I love the feminist angle adopted in this book. Bit sad how people used to gossip about each other & the old fashioned attitudes to people different from themselves. Shocking, but I was a child then & remember the odd unfair comment. Beautifully written & absolutely love Annie Aldington also. Thank you.

This is the best Kitty Neale book for me so far.
