Miner's Wife

Seventeen-year-old Meg Oversby often dreams of a more exciting life than the dull existence she faces at her family's farm deep in the Yorkshire Dales. Growing up, she's always sensed her father's disappointment at not having a son to help with the farm work.

So when Meg dances all night at the local market hall with Sam Alderson, a lead miner from Swaledale, a new light enters her life. Sam and his brother Jack show Meg a side to life she didn't know existed. But when her parents find out, she's forbidden from ever seeing them again.

Although where there is love, there is often a way. When Meg's uncle offers her the chance of helping to run the small village shop, she leaps at the opportunity, seeing it as a way to escape the oppressive family farm and see more of her beloved Sam. But as love blossoms, a darker truth emerges and Meg realises that Sam may not be the man she thought he was . . .

Meg Oversby, in varsta de saptesprezece ani, viseaza adesea la o viata mai interesanta decat existenta plictisitoare cu care se confrunta la ferma familiei sale, adanc in Yorkshire Dales. In crestere, a simtit intotdeauna dezamagirea tatalui ei ca nu are un fiu care sa ajute la munca fermei. Asa ca atunci cand Meg danseaza toata noaptea la sala de piata locala cu Sam Alderson, un miner principal din Swaledale, o lumina noua intra in viata ei.
