House of Angels (2011)
“One afternoon, desperate to get out of the house after being confined for so long, Ella suggested they walk down the lane to see her. She took Tilda with her, judging she too would benefit from a breath of fresh air.
Ella was also suddenly keen to learn more about her predecessor. Up until now she’d considered Amos’s first marriage to be none of her business. He’d held up the wonderful Esther as some sort of saint and paragon of virtue, and was clearly still grieving for the woman. Otherwis...e, why else would he have turned his back on his second wife? Ella really hadn’t wanted to think about Amos’s first wife any more than was absolutely necessary. She’d been an ominous presence in their marriage, almost as intrusive as her own father. Now, following the remarks made by both Amos and Mrs Rackett during Tilda’s illness, she was filled with curiosity to know more about her.
Wilma Jepson was delighted to see them both. As a widow who lived alone, she was more than ready to pop the kettle on and partake of a cup of tea and enjoy a bit of crack.MoreLess
