About this listen

Rachel Smedling is not like the other women in her isolated Pennine village: she is taller, stronger, and weaves cloth like a man. Without her, the household would fall apart, for her mother is ailing and her vicious drunkard father seems to hate her so much, he would happily offer money to any man who would wed her.

When her mother dies, Rachel is at the mercy of her increasingly violent father.

Her only escape is marrying a kindly man with whom she finds happiness, if not passion, and her life begins to seem complete.

Rachel's growing prosperity infuriates her father and his cronies, however, and they will stop at nothing to see her destroyed.

There really isn’t a dull moment in this story, and towards the end, I was literally sat on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen. The story is brought wonderfully alive by Nicolette McKenzies narration.

One of Anna Jacob’s best
