In an attempt to banish loneliness, she takes comfort in recalling happier moments shared with loved ones, but is also forced to relive a series of disastrous relationships. \u003cbr\u003eThis gripping family saga traces her story from childhood, life as a young woman in war-ravaged London, and a period of affluence and happiness filled with the desire of creating a family of her own. Her hopes are thwarted, and her marriage starts to fail. During this time, she forges a bond with a Scottish couple who bear the scars of a tragic past. \u003cbr\u003eUnable to cope with her disappointments, broken dreams, and a devastating revelation, inexorably she embarks on a spiral of self-destruction. Even the unwavering presence of the man who gave up everything for her cannot release her from the prison of her own making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geraldine Stevens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1035862395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035862399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austin Macauley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Geraldine Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965768581375,"sku":"9781035862399","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_122808a8-1907-4af2-bc05-304cfe2f59b8.jpg?v=1767284700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-tarnished-life-geraldine-stevens-9781035862399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
