EVERYTHING TO GAIN
by BARBARA TAYLOR BRADFORD
1st edition published by Harper Collins in1994. Unclipped dust cover in very good condition. Pages slightly browned, but all in good condition and unmarked except the very first page that has signs of an effort by someone to rub out a number. It hardly shows though.
At the centre of Everything to Gain is wife and mother Mallory Keswick, who must rebuild her life when violent tragedy destroys her family. Shattered by grief, Mal takes refuge in Indian Meadows, the old colonial weekend home beloved by her and her family. But even there despair almost destroys her, and in desperation she flees to a village on the Yorkshire moors where her husband grew up; and it is in Yorkshire that mallory has her epiphany.
As always, Barbara Taylor Bradford creates a many-faceted and indomitable character in Mallory Keswick. Totally absorbing and heartrendingly real, Everything to Gain lays bare Mallory's life to expose feelings startlingly familiar because they are our own.
