A propos de cet article

"It is Christmas 1930 in the pit village of Shirebrook and Enid Brackenbury - beautiful, ambitious and afriad that her talents will never be recognised - faces a terrible choice.She is promised to one man and in love with another.Desperate to escape from her bullying father and the drudgery of nursing her crippled mother, she has agreed to marry Jack O'Hara - a good-natured and handsome collier who will never live up to her expectations.In preparation for the wedding, she has taken 'instructuion' from the local Catholic priest and fallen hopelessly in love with him - a man whom she fears can never be her husband.The discovery that the priest loves her too is the beginning of an agonizing battle between head and heart - certainty and security weighed against the hope of happiness.It is a conflict that both her family and the church intensify by their beliefs that duty is more important than love.In the final part of his trilogy, Roy Hattersley captures the essence of the period in this extraordinary love story.Like The Maker's Mark and In That Quiet Earth, Skylark's Song will be read for years to come as a classic of English life."
