The Four Marys A Quartet of Contemporary Folk Tales By Jean Rafferty NEW Book

Description\n'A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world.' So said Agatha Christie, ambiguously; for the bond between mother and child is deep, but sometimes, motherhood does not come naturally. This is hinted at in references to the Four Marys ballad by Virginia Woolf and Joan Baez, both of whom feature here. Obsession, longing, deceit and even murder feature in this quartet of provocative novellas, which gives a modern twist to tales of women for whom all is not necessar- ily as it seems or as each woman would want her life to be. Drawing on universal themes of womanhood and on history, culture and lore, 'The Four Marys' is a riveting exploration of the complexities of motherhood: edgy and engrossing, moving, yet at times, disturbing.\n\nDelivery\nFree Postage and Packing on all orders within the UK.  All orders are Shipped same or Next working day Monday to Friday.\n\nReturns\nIf you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase please return the item to Stend
