Bulderstone, their spowling property in the Northumbrion
countryside, since she was a child. unaware that she had been
manipulated into agreeing to marry their son Laurence, only an
encounter with Bruce Dickenson, the son of a neighbouring former
opened her eyes to the possibility that she might be making a
mistake. bridget's future mother-in-low, aware of her doubts, tried
to reassure her " Once you are married ", she said, everything will
full into place " .
But altough Bridget told hersef she had loved Laurence Overmeer
with a schoolgirl passion for years, could she now trust him,
especially after the event that had caused this heart-searching ?
Had he been seeing someone else all the time he had been courting
her ? She decides that ther were sufficient grounds for doubt, so
she called off the marriage.
However, she had reckoned without the formidable Overmeer family,
whose desperate business straits compelled them to take whatever
steps they felt were necessary to protect their interests. As for
Laurence, he could not forgive Bridget for the humiliation, he
could not forgice Bridget for the humiliation of rejection, so he
made his own plans for revenge., the outcome of which would shake
the very foundations of the Overmeer family.
The Blind Years, another of Catherine
Cookson's part-mysteries, part-love stories, once again displays
her consumate skill at portraying th nuances of family
conflict.
