Coronation Wives
“They’d been there when she needed them, just as now.
She arrived at Polly’s house in Camborne Crescent at around nine thirty. Although both Janet and her mother had stressed that visiting was not allowed at Saltmead, Edna refused to believe it.

Probably wondering who I am, she thought, perhaps surprised to see a woman rather than a man calling for Polly in a car.MoreLess
