In The Stony Path , Rita Bradshaw writes a heartrending saga of lost love, dark secrets and the rocky road to happiness. Perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Dilly Court.
Growing up on a small, struggling farm on the outskirts of Sunderland in the early 1900s, Polly Farrow has a tough life, but she has gifts money can't buy - a joyful disposition and a loving heart. And her heart belongs to her beloved cousin, Michael. Polly knows that one day they'll be man and wife.
But a terrible secret is to change everything: Michael is her half-brother, the fruit of an incestuous relationship between her father and his own sister - Michael's mother. The lovers are rent apart and Polly is left to bear the responsibility of the farm alone - for her father kills himself, unable to live with his shame. Life is now a battle for survival, and Polly wonders if she will ever find happiness. But the answer to her prayers is closer than she thinks...
The Stony Path Reviews
-
Loved it. Something about these books just draw me in. Great characters and loved the plot too. Very detailed too more so than newer books by the author and I enjoyed that more.

A DNF for me that I attemped a few weeks ago. I read a very good amount but got grossed out with all the incest. That's not my favorite topic. In the very beginning, a brother and sister are getting inappropriate (this happens very early in the book so I'm not spoiling anything) and well of course, mommy and daddy split them up. WELL, the inappapropriate activities that were going on the hayloft had a "repurcussion" you could say and that "repurcussion" developes the hots for HIS half sister later.. UGH.
Major gross out. Hit the "to donate" bag within hours of my settling down with it in my recliner. -
Really enjoyed this book at first I was a bit wary because of what the first chapter is on but it's a really good book. You can easily get hold of the characters and understand and sympathize with Polly. Would recommend to everyone who loves her other books
