About this listen

The Broadhursts were a mining family and, to outsiders, they appeared to be happy, loyal and united. But it was Jinny—wife, mother, sister—who held them together. Her pride and her strength prevented their fears and hates from overwhelming them. There was Jack, her younger son, trapped into marrying a shrew; and Lottie, her sister, who was not quite...normal. And there was Larry, the bright one, the handsome one, who was obsessed with the memory of the girl who had jilted him. She was married now, they said, and happily too. But now he was suffused with anger, together with pain and a reborn longing. He vowed she would not make a laughing stock of him again. But could he do what his pride told him he must...?

Lovely

liked it all. I liked the way that the same occurrences were retold but from different characters points of view. it made it more real.

the way it was harder to tell what was going to happen, or the way something would happen, even if you knew it would.
