The Girl in the Velvet Gloves Val R Brown

First impressions can be important but, in Meg's case, they were misleading. There was more to Meg than met the eye. Beneath that demure exterior were hidden depths and carefully-guarded secrets that she took with her to the grave. Growing up in working-class Sunderland in the first part of the twentieth century, she was expected to follow the usual conventions of marriage, children, and drudgery but Meg didn't quite fit into the normal mould.
