The Price of Guilt

By Margaret Yorke

Book Overview

Louise Widdows has been trapped inside an unhappy marriage for decades, struggling to find the strength to leave. Then, seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident, Louise returns home from a long stay in the hospital to find her husband suddenly, and mysteriously, disappeared. So, late into middle age, Louise finds herself suddenly free to begin her life over--and to acknowledge the secret that has been haunting her for years: her son, born out of wedlock and given up at birth. But Louise's husband, Colin, has some secrets of his own, and she hasn't seen the end of him yet.

Louise Widdows wonders if she is lucky to be alive having survived a hit and run murder attempt to kill her. The driver of the vehicle mounted the sidewalk to deliberately hit her. Besides fear, Louise is an incredible leadcharacter. Reading Louise's tale, which is ninety-five per cent of the plot makes award winning Margaret Yorke's latest entry worth the time and money because she is one of the greatest characters to grace a novel over the past few years.Harriet Klausner
