Viac o knihe
When circumstances drive Molly Gibson's father to re-marry after years of being a widower, naïve Molly's life is turned upside down by the arrival of an unwanted step-mother and her bewitching daughter, Cynthia. Though completely different, the two seventeen-year-old girls become instant friends. But when their lives grow increasingly intertwined with the two sons of Squire Hamley - the charismatic Osborne and the studious Roger - they look set to become rivals in love. And Cynthia has a dangerous secret from her past. When she entangles Molly in her desperate plans, both their reputations are put at risk. Wives and Daughters follows the progress of the hot-headed Molly and the sophisticated Cynthia as they grow into young women. This witty and life-affirming novel also creates a lively portrait of the scandals, snobberies, gossip and loyalties of a close-knit village community.
