The stunning first instalment in The Breckton Novels, To Catch a Dream by Mary Wood tells the tragic tale of Bridie O'Hara, as she struggles to overcome her misfortune.
Can she follow her dreams when she has lost everything?
Young Bridie O'Hara is torn away from her native Ireland by her father – a freedom fighter, turned traitor – when he has to flee the wrath of the republicans. Violated by those who should protect her and betrayed by her dashing gypsy lover Seamus Finney, she struggles to find her way in Victorian England.
Will Hadler is a kind, hard-working miner, whose love for Bridie knows no bounds. He rescues her from a life on the streets and offers her the chance of happiness, but the demons inside her never give her peace. When Will takes Bridie to Breckton in Yorkshire, she meets and befriends the young Issy. A strong young woman, she triumphs over adversity, but her quest to save Bridie, and Bridie's daughter Bridget from the consequences of her mother's actions, proves a step too far.

Vill du läsa en bok innehållande idel tragedier och våld mot kvinnor har du hittat rätt bok. Om du trots allt lyssnar till slutet är bok två betydligt bättre.
