Synopsis
"Audra, Christina and Kyle, mother, daughter and granddaughter: three generations of women whose struggles span the last fifty years of this century. For Audra, a children's nanny in Leeds, the years contain poverty, duty and devotion - devotion to her daughter, Christina, who is to have everything that Audra sacrificed. Talented, lovely Christina studies at the Royal College of Art, hoping to become a celebrated fashion designer - but for her too there is pain and heartache. With Kyle the wheel comes full circle, the pattern of duty and sacrifice comes to fulfilment. Set in the Yorkshire Dales, London and New York, against a backcloth of art, artists and haute couture, Act of Will is a remarkable story of remarkable women." -book jacket.Book Details
