Publisher's Summary

From the best-selling author of The Slum Angel.

After losing her father, Thea Goodson is alone in the world.

She has a husband. But Ernie is a brutal man who uses his fists to keep Thea in line.

And besides, Ernie Goodson has secrets – secrets that even his wife cannot share.

And yet in Victorian Yorkshire, appearances are everything - and they must be maintained whatever the cost.

Thea has no choice but to cover up her bruises with powder and keep a forced smile on her face while she looks after Ernie’s home and tobacco shop.

There seems to be no other option.

That is, until a handsome and well-bred stranger arrives to set up shop next door...

Can Thea escape her miserable marriage and break from the conventions of society? Or will the clutches of her abusive husband confine her forever?

The Tobacconist’s Wife is the latest book from AnneMarie Brear, the highly acclaimed author of best-selling The Slum Angel. Perfect for fans of Catherine Cookson, Dilly Court, and Rosie Goodwin.
