The Weight of Her Heart
by Julia Cole
Genre: Historical fiction, Romance, Womens fiction
I enjoyed this, not gripped to the page, must keep reading enjoyment, more a sense of exploration, where would the story take me next.
It perfectly illustrates how powerless women were, how easily they are taken advantage of, and of course, the lies men told themselves to justify their actions.
Poor naive Eloise, she's a kid, so innocent. For her family the money allowed them to disguise the shame, hide what happened. For less wealthy families the girl risked being literally thrown on to the street.
Its not so easy to just wipe away what happens in life though, it leaves scars on many of the major participants. As here they can have lifelong impact.
Some great characters, and some sweet surprises and intriguing twists.
Stars: Three, good story with viewpoints from different characters, which I like, but not a book I'd reread.
