About this listen

 Lawrences debut novel transports readers to the fictional town of Nethermere, inspired by real-life Eastwood in Nottinghamshire. The story unfolds through the eyes of Cyril Beardsall, exploring the intricate dynamics of his sister Letties relationships with two suitors the ruggedly handsome George and the refined, almost delicate Leslie. Although Lettie ultimately marries Leslie, her heart yearns for George, who himself weds the conventional Meg. Both unions spiral into discontent, set against the backdrop of the vividly described English midlands, where the tension between pastoral beauty and the encroaching forces of industrialization creates a rich tapestry of emotion and conflict.
