Fabric of a Family (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Fabric of a Family is set in early 1950's England. While it is a work of fiction, many of you may recognize characters and situations familiar in your own milieu. This is the story of the lives, loves, and marriages of the Woodhouse family, their five children and two eccentric aunts. There is joy and sadness, optimism and disappointment, merriment and solemnity as each makes individual choices and decisions, often detrimental to themselves and to the fabric of their family. The Woodhouses are decent people striving to lead good lives but often falling far short of their ideals. Nevertheless, you will find understanding, perception, and compassion as the lives of this family unfold.
