The House of Bonneau - By Elvi Rhodes

WILL SHE LOSE EVERYTHING SHE FOUGHT SO HARD TO GAIN?

When Madeleine Bates - born into poverty as the daughter of a Yorkshire millhand - married Leon Bonneau - the French wool baron - she felt her life of turmoil was over. Whatever problems came their way, surely love would see them through?

Yet trouble still dogs her and she feels she is alone: Leon's family resent her for taking him away from them and Hortense Murer - who assumed she would be Leon's wife - begrudges her.

She also cannot help but dwell on the curse made by her old enemy Sophia Parkinson: that she would never bear a son. For it seems to be coming true...
