Roses For Rebecca
Roses For Rebecca | Margaret Kaine
2 posts | 1 read
An enthralling story of love, tragedy and renewal set in East London and the Potteries as England recovers from World War II. Rebecca Lawson, orphaned and homeless, returns to London to live and work with her aunt and uncle at the Unicorn, their pub in the East End. Then one fateful day, Ian Beresford walks into the bar, and eighteen-year-old Rebecca, longing for security and a home of her own, falls deeply in love. But Ian, so sensitive and caring, disappears and Rebecca discovers to her horror that she's pregnant. Frantic with worry, she travels to his family home in Stoke-on-Trent to try and find him. But awaiting her is the shocking news of an appalling tragedy. Once again Rebecca struggles to pick up the shattered pieces of her life, and makes the difficult and brave decision to keep her baby. Despite scandal, prejudice and her own heartbreak, can she put the past behind her and find happiness after all?

#Epigraph #FranzKafka - Trust the path will appear 😉

Eugeniavb Love it! 7y
Eugeniavb The spanish poet Antonio Machado has a poem with a similar message (in translation): "Wayfarer, the only way
Is your footprints and no other.
Wayfarer, there is no way.
Make your way by going farther...". If you can read it in search spanish, its better of course.
