The Pumpkin Shell

by Louise Pakeman

This is a story about marriage from a woman's point of view, in the Western world in the 1930s and through the Second World War and the years immediately following...Stevie enters into two marriages, primarily for the security they offer. However, she gradually realises that a safe and secure marriage is restricting. It is only when she commits to a relationship that does not offer security that she finds real self-fulfilment and happiness.
