About this listen

Can she ever forgive the mother who abandoned her?

Escape to the world of the Staffordshire Potteries, from the award-winning writer Margaret Kaine.

When young Polly Merton’s beloved grandfather dies, she is forced into sharing a home with the last person she expected: the mother who left her.

Her mother Sadie appears to be glamorous, reckless, and selfish, and her morals are a world apart from Polly’s own. Scandalised and ashamed, Polly takes refuge in her college studies and tries to forge her own independent life.

But when Polly’s dreams take her to France, a chance encounter in Paris will change her life forever… Could Polly and her mother have more in common than she thought?

This heart-wrenching and engrossing historical romance from the award-winning writer Margaret Kaine is perfect for fans of Kitty Neale, Dilly Court, and Glenda Young.

This novel was previously published under the title Ribbon of Moonlight .
