Songs of Willow Frost by Jamie Ford

Songs of Willow FrostSongs of Willow Frost by Jamie Ford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Willow Frost has lost her father and brothers. Her mother is ill and is forced to take a husband, but in the end she dies anyway. Willow is abused by her step father.

This is a great story. Jamie Ford is becoming a favourite author of mine. He certainly understands the female and their difficulties. This tale of the Spanish flu, the depression and unwed motherhood is the best I have read.
