All That Glistens

by Anne Baker

When a shocking secret is uncovered, a young woman must do everything to protect her father from a lifetime of unhappiness...

A father's happiness rests on the shoulders of his loving daughter, in this heart-warming saga, All That Glistens , by much-loved author Anne Baker. Perfect for fans of Sheila Newberry and Lindsey Hutchinson.

When jeweller Edwin Jardine gives a job to Hilda Thorpe, his daughter Jane suspects that he's been blinded to the attractive widow's flaws by her looks and her hard luck story (she's alone with a teenage daughter, Kitty). Jane's dismayed when Edwin and Hilda become romantically involved; she knows that her father deserves happiness again after the death of her mother, but must it be with Hilda? With the help of her new fiancé, Nick, Jane begins to unravel the shocking truth about Hilda's past - and soon she fears that Edwin may be about to take a step he will live to regret bitterly.

[Emma Young · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was intrigued by this book it's set in the 70s in Liverpool. It felt like I was transported to their world. It had revelations, discovery, troubles still a good book. Three of the characters did annoy me they stole and told lies and I wasn't surprised where it got them in the end. If only they could have changed into good characters after a life of bad decisions then it would make an excellent read.
