Publisher's Synopsis
The Marigold Field is the story of poor, proud, high-spirited people...people whose roots were in the farming country of southern England...in the bawdy and exuberant streets of the East End.
Jonathan Whitman, his cousin Myra, Anne-Louise Pritchard and the enormous Pritchard clan to which she belonged, saw the changing era and incredible events of a passing age - an age of great poverty and great wealth, of straw boaters, feather boas, and the Music Hall...
And above all The Marigold Field is a story of one woman's consuming love...of a jealous obsession that threatened to destroy the very man she adored...
