About this ebook
Penny Vincenzi's WINDFALL is a rich, absorbing tale of temptation, ambition and desire.
'Reading her is an addictive experience' Elizabeth Buchan
Be careful what you wish for...
Cassia Fallon has always been the perfect country doctor's wife, performing daily tasks with willingness and grace, even though her desire to become a doctor herself has been thwarted by lack of money. Then one June day in 1935, just as she's scrubbing the altar steps, she learns that she has inherited half a million pounds.
Now Cassia is finally free to do as she pleases, and resumes her own medical career as Dr Cassia Tallow with a passion. But her legacy may not be such a blessing after all, for Cassia begins to question the strength of her marriage, her future and exactly where the money has come from.
