Pink Sugar, livre ebook

Kirsty Gilmour makes a home for herself in the Scottish Borders and takes under her wing a gentle old aunt and three motherless children; Barbara, Specky and Bad Bill. Originally written in the 1920s, Pink Sugar is full of perfectly drawn characters with old-fashioned values from a vanished world; a world of kindness and good manners, of generosity and self-restraint, and yet a world where poverty, illness and bereavement are just below the surface. In this society of women, the plot centers around the trials and tribulation of daily life in Scotland in the years after the First World War.
