The Yorkshire Pudding Club

De: Milly Johnson

Narrado por: Colleen Prendergast

From the Sunday Times bestseller comes a heartwarming and uplifting story of how three women find themselves empowered by unexpected pregnancies

Three South Yorkshire friends, all on the cusp of 40, fall pregnant at the same time following a visit to an ancient fertility symbol. For Helen, it's a dream come true, although her husband is not as thrilled about it as she had hoped. Not only wrestling with painful ghosts of the past, Helen has to deal with the fact that her outwardly perfect marriage is crumbling before her eyes.

For Janey, it is an unmitigated disaster as she has just been offered the career break of a life-time. And she has no idea either how it could possibly have happened, seeing as she and her ecstatic husband George were always so careful over contraception.

For Elizabeth, it is mind-numbing, because she knows people like her shouldn't have children. Damaged by her dysfunctional childhood and emotionally lost, she not only has to contend with carrying a child she doubts she can ever love, but she also has to deal with the return to her life of a man whose love she must deny herself.©2007 Milly Johnson (P)2007 Simon & Schuster UK

Good Story - but a trigger warning

Overall,
I really enjoyed this book! Each woman’s story is distinctive and a very different pregnancy experience. Totally hated Helen’s husband, but I suppose I was meant to! You really want to see him get his comeuppance! The ending felt quite rushed, but mostly satisfying. The only thing is that it needs a trigger warning on two fronts: for depictions of child molestation and of rape. Both are key to one character’s story arch, but are very disturbing.
